A motion sensor (or motion detector) is an electronic device that is designed to detect and measure movement. They use sensors to detect nearby people or objects.
Listen to the instructions and complete the activity below.
Click on this button in the top right hand corner to access the interactive elements of this activity.
Active motion sensors send out a signal. They emit light (for example, a laser), and then if something blocks that light the sensor is triggered.
Passive motion sensors pick up infrared signals put off by body heat. If the sensor notices an infrared energy, the motion detector is triggered and an alarm may sound.
Using the video above see if you can complete the Level 1 Motion Sensor Challenge ' Use The Force'.
2. When you have finished take a screenshot and post it to the activity in Seesaw.
3. Caption your screenshot with an explaination about how your code works.
4. Go to the class Padlet and share the link to the game. If you like you can play some of your friends games too!
Example:
You can also play Mrs K's to get an idea of how the game could work.
