# flashing heart activity
Ccontrol images with variables.
### ~avatar avatar
### @video td/videos/flashing-heart-0
In this activity, you will learn how to blink an image on the LED screen.
### ~
To create a new script, go to the [Create Code](https://www.microbit.co.uk/create-code) page and tap `New Project` under **KindScript**.
Let's start by adding code that plots a heart image on the screen using `basic->plot image`. Once you are done coding, don't forget to run your code in the simulator or the BBC micro:bit.
```
basic.plotImage(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`) // ***
```
We want to leave the image on the screen for 0.5 seconds (500 milliseconds), then clear the screen. We can use `basic->pause` to wait and `basic->clear screen` to turn off the LEDs.
```
basic.plotImage(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500) // ***
basic.clearScreen() // ***
```
Finally, we can surround this code with a `basic->forever` loop to repeat it and add a pause after `basic->clear screen` to keep the screen off for a little while. Modify your code so that your code looks like this.
```
basic.forever(() => {
basic.plotImage(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
})
```

# flashing heart challenges
Coding challenges for flashing heart.
## Before we get started
Complete the [flashing heart](/microbit/lessons/flashing-heart/activity) activity and your code will look like this:
```
basic.forever(() => {
basic.plotImage(`
. # . # .
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
})
```
### Challenge 1
### @video td/videos/flashing-heart-1
Let's plot a different image. Let's display a broken heart!
To do this, you need to **add a line** between the last line and the end loop. Plot the image of the broken heart and then add a pause of 500 milliseconds.
```
basic.forever(() => {
basic.plotImage(`
# # . # #
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
basic.plotImage(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`) // ***
basic.pause(500) // ***
})
```
* click `run main` to see if the code works as expected.
### Challenge 2
### @video td/videos/flashing-heart-2
Now let's alternate flashing the heart and the broken heart. To do this, we need to clear the screen and then add a pause of 500 milliseconds under the new code we added in Challenge 1.
```
basic.forever(() => {
basic.plotImage(`
# # . # #
# # # # #
# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen()
basic.pause(500)
basic.plotImage(`
. # . # .
# . # # #
# . . # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
`)
basic.pause(500)
basic.clearScreen() // ***
basic.pause(500) // ***
})
```
* click `run main` to see if the code works as expected.
### Challenge 3
You now have a heart and broken heart flashing! Now plot a new image to alternate in with the heart and broken heart.

# flashing heart lesson plan
Learn how to create LED images with a variable.
### @video vimeo/134118661
## Topic
Global Variable - Blinking Images
## Class
Year 7
## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
Learn how to control a blinking LED image. We will be learning how to create a blinking app using global variables, forever as well as simple commands, such as create image, show image, pause, and clear screen.
## What the teacher needs to know
**Program:** A stored set of instructions encoded in a language understood by the computer that does some form of computation, processing input and/or stored data to generate output.**
**Algorithm:** An unambiguous set of rules or a precise step-by-step guide to solve a problem or achieve a particular objective. The guided tutorial follows a algorithm and is a precise step-by-step guide to solve a problem**
**Loop:** A block of code repeated automatically under the programs control. ** The blink program introduces Forever. Forever will repeats code in the background forever.
**Command:** An instruction for the computer to execute, written in a particular programming language.**
**QuickStart Computing Glossary

## Objectives
* learn how to create a global variable
* learn how to blink a light
* learn how to repeat turning on and off the light
## Links to the National Curriculum Programmes of Study for Computing
## Assessment
### Progression Pathways
### Computational Thinking Framework

* 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)
#### Data & Data Representation
* Understands the difference between data and information. (AB)
* Defines data types: real numbers and Boolean. (AB)
#### Information Technology
* Collects, organises 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)
Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation

# # # # #
. # # # .
. . # . .
