Fourth in a series of six lessons to introduce the BBC MicroBits and Python programming to Year 7 students.
In this lesson, students get to program their MicroBits to use the buttons and accelerometer together, through the 'shake' gesture, triggering actions (displaying text/images), through practical work on programming with MicroPython (the Python version that is used with MicroBits).
All activities are fully differentiated by task, students can start easy and go as far as their ability allows.
Notes are included with the slides, which is helpful for non-specialist or cover teachers.
A worksheet that accompanies the lesson slides is also provided, with differentiated tasks.
The series of lessons builds up to a mini-project where students have to create a "Harry Potter Sorting Hat" with a MicroBit, but they can also be taught without reference to the project.
The project assessment sheets, as well as a help sheet, are included in the bundle.
All lesson PPTs include clear Learning Objectives.
Requirements for these lessons are:
- A full set of class MicroBits with USB cables
- mu editor installed on student PCs
- MicroBit battery packs for the 'Sorting Hat' project (optional but very useful)
