Embedded Files
The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that teaches students how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors and many input/output features that, when programmed (using MakeCode or Python), let it interact with you and your world. When coupled with a micro:bit, the water sensor provides a variable analog reading depending on how wet/damp the sensor is. LESSON LINK
The ABC CREATE Resource Library has 2 classroom sets of 15 BBC micro:bits, 15 water sensors, 15 turbidity sensors ,and 40 alligator clips available for borrowing. Please check the calendar to see what's currently available.
One BBC micro:bit/sensor serves 1-2 students; therefore, one classroom set serves up to 30 students.
