The BBC micro:bit is packed with sensors, and each one has its own video guide. They make a great learning tool for your students. Short animations explain concepts around inputs, processors and outputs in familiar contexts.
Our temperature sensing video explains:- what a sensor is
- that temperature sensors are used in many homes
- how thermostats work, taking and displaying temperature readings
- how those readings are used to switch heating systems on and off
- how they keep your home at a comfortable temperature
- how the micro:bit's built-in temperature sensor works
- Make a digital thermometer that shows the current temperature on the micro:bit's LED display
- Record maximum and minimum temperatures over time
- Create a thermometer that converts units from Celsius to Fahrenheit
Each project progresses your students through more advanced coding concepts and making greater use of the micro:bit's features. They make great starters for computer science, maths or science lessons or larger environmental projects.
How To Program micro:bit To Measure Your Environment Using its Built-In SensorsOur free coding tool micro:bit classroom is designed to make it easier to manage programming lessons, whether face-to-face, remote, or even a mixture of both.
- Set up a lesson in seconds
- Share code with your students
- Capture every student's work with one click
- Resume a whole-class coding session next lesson
Our support site is packed with great ideas and tips. Check out this guide to keeping micro:bit's clean and safe when they're being handled in class.
