Let's measure `acceleration (mg)` in terms of strength. Get the acceleration value (milli g-force), as measured in strength.

Use the plot bar chart to visualize the acceleration on the LED screen of the micro:bit in the specified range. You implement plot Bar Graph to display a vertical bar graph based on the "value" and "high" value. Then you must insert acceleration in based on strength.

Notice that making vibrating the object below the micro:bit changes the values and the line appears as a wave to display the value of the strength as measured in milli-gravities. By making the object below the micro:bit vibrate, you will observe changing values of the micro:bit. Also, the LEDs shown on the Bar Graph fluctates based on the movement of the micro:bit strength.

Vigorously move the micro:bit in the micro:bit simulatator by moving the micro:bit image from side to side. Every time the micro:bit moves in the x direction in the simulator, you are generating data points that can be reviewed in Excel. The more attempts to move the micro:bit from side to side, the more data being saved in Excel. After you have vigarously moved the micro:bit simulator from side to side for a sufficient amount of time, you are ready to graph or chart the accceleration of the micro:bit. We want a printout of our acceleration on Excel that can be graphed in Excel.

The final part of this experiment is opening and reviewing the data in the Excel CSV file. Simply click on the line beneath the simulator. A CSV file will be generated to display the data points collected by moving the micro:bit in the X direction. Then click or tap on the data Excel file that was downloaded to your local Downloads Folder.
