Science is a way of knowing, a process for gaining knowledge and understanding of the natural world. Engineering combines the fields of science, technology, and mathematics to provide solutions to real-world problems. Students should be active learners who demonstrate their scientific understanding by using it. It is not enough for students to read about science; they must participate in the three dimensions of science. They should observe, inquire, question, formulate and test hypotheses, analyze data, report, and evaluate findings. The students, as scientists, should have hands-on, active experiences throughout the instruction of the science curriculum. These standards help students find value in developing novel solutions as they engage with complex problems.
To use a variety of methods to collect science experiment data using @boardname@s and its sensors. The micro:bit is the result of companies and communities all around the world working together to help people learn to code, and become confident and creative with technology. The BBC’s Microbit is a small programmable device created in the UK and is given to all 7th graders to help them learn coding, to see the relationship between hardware and software, and how to use it in an innovative way.
