Year 3 students recently participated in an exciting Digital Technologies lesson using Micro:bits to investigate and compare the temperatures of different outdoor surfaces around the school. Working in pairs, students carried a battery-powered Micro:bit to designated outdoor zones. At each location, they carefully held the sensor still for 30 seconds before pressing button A to display the temperature reading. They then recorded the location and temperature data in a table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students were highly engaged throughout the activity, applying their coding skills to program the Micro:bits and collect real-world data. They enjoyed comparing the temperatures recorded at each location and discussing possible reasons for the differences between surfaces. This hands-on investigation provided students with an authentic opportunity to develop their coding, data collection and analytical thinking skills while exploring how digital technologies can be used to gather and interpret information about the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
