Scientific Method Template 5.5.1 & 5.5.2
Design and carry out an investigation and recognize the accuracy in observation and measurement. ; and, with guidance, apply suitable methods to record, compile, interpret and evaluate observations and measurements. Use the template for observations and reflection when carrying out investigations in science.
Scientific Method Experiment Write Up
Vocabulary: Electricity and Magnetism Visual DictionaryTopic A 5.5.3: Demonstrate and interpret evidence of magnetic fields around magnets and around current-carrying wires, by use of iron filings or by use of one or more compasses.

This program is simple but fun. Students will use the Micro:bit's internal compass to detect magnetic fields.
Which unexpected objects have magnetic fields? Be sure to document your findings.
Look at our Micro:bit page to see all of the awesome things you can do for these units with Micro:bit!
