Introduction - To begin, introduce the children to Micro:bit with it already programmed to rock, paper, scissors. Then explain how you programmed the micro:bit to do it and how they will be having the chance to programme it doing a variety of things. Children to be informed that they will have the opportunity to share what they have learned with children from other schools, who may not have heard of micro:bit before.

Main Session -

- Children to complete the questionnaire about coding and micro:bit to show their knowledge prior to the project.

- Children to use makecode.microbit.org to follow the instructions and practice using the Micro:bit by programming it to display their name.

Resources- Micro:bits, QR code for questionnaire, step-by-step instructions

Introduction - To begin, share the power point about being fit and healthy with the children. Discuss what people do to track how much exercise they have done e. g fitbit, weighing and then explain that we can programme the micro:bit to become a stepper. Finally, work together to plan our Science investigation using the Micro:bit stepper.

Main Session - Children to programme the micro:bit to become their own stepper in readiness for the investigation.

TA - Follow the onscreen instructions on https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor

MA- Follow the instructions step by step with the teacher

LA- Follow the instructions step by step with the teacher working with a partner

Plenary - Check that your stepper works by counting how many steps you take to see if it's the same.

Challenge: Download the code to the Micro:bit

Introduction - To begin, we will recap what we have already covered and then we will begin to plan the investigation. The children will complete the investigation planning sheet (differentiated).

Main Session -

Micro:bit Investigation Questions:

1. The Question - Children to decide how the question is worded

2. Equipment - Children to draw and label the equipment required to complete the investigation

3. Explanation - Explain what we had to do to carry out the investigation - (differentiated) LA children to draw what they did or take a photo and stick it in

4. Prediction - Children to predict what they think will happen

5. Results - Children to record results in the table (differentiated)

6. Conclusion - What did we find out?
