This unit of four lessons is suitable for students aged 7-8 years. They create nature representations, firstly using art materials and are introduced to computational thinking and programming the LEDs on the BBC micro:bit.
Five lessons aimed at students aged 8-9 years. Students explore animations, developing their computational thinking and use repetition to create volcanic eruption animations using the LEDs on the BBC micro:bit.
Five lessons aimed at students aged 8-9 years. Students develop their understanding of flowchart algorithms, selection, inputs and outputs by programming the BBC micro:bit to make a tester for electrical conductivity.
