## Class
Year 7
## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
Learn how to get the ambient temperature (degree Celsius °C). The temperature is inferred from the the surface temperature of the various chips on the micro:bit. We will be learning how to get the temperature using on shake, local variables, as well as simple commands such as show number.
## Documentation
* **on shake** : [read more...](/microbit/reference/input/on-gesture)
* **local variable** : [read more...](/microbit/reference/variables/var)
* **temperature** : [read more...](/microbit/reference/input/temperature)
* **show number** : [read more...](/microbit/reference/basic/show-number)
* **show string** : [read more...](/microbit/reference/basic/show-string)
```docs
input.temperature()
let x = 0
basic.showNumber(7)
basic.showString("Hello!")
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
})
```
## Objectives
* learn how to create a variable to store data
* learn how to get the ambient temperature (degree Celsius °C). The temperature is inferred from the the surface temperature of the various chips on the micro:bit.
* learn how to show a number on the LED screen
## Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework
#### Algorithms
* Uses logical reasoning to predict outputs, showing an awareness of inputs (AL)
* Designs solutions by decomposing a problem and creates a sub-solution for each of these parts. (DE) (AL) (AB)
* Recognises that different algorithms exist for the same problem (AL) (GE)
* Represents solutions using a structured notation (AL) (AB)
#### Programming & Development
* Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals (AL)
* Declares and assigns variables(AB)
* Understands the difference between, and appropriately uses if and if, then and else statements(AL)
* Selects the appropriate data types(AL) (AB
#### Communication Networks
* Demonstrates responsible use of technologies and online services, and knows a range of ways to report concerns Understands how search engines rank search results (AL)
#### Information Technology
* Collects, organizes, and presents data and information in digital content (AB)
* Makes appropriate improvements to solutions based on feedback received, and can comment on the success of the solution (EV)
* Recognises ethical issues surrounding the application of information technology beyond school.
Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
