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.
### ~
Review and write down your observations from the Excel data. Then chart or graph the data collected by using a tool 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.

Review and write down your observations from the Excel data.
First, click or tap on the first two columns (A, B) to include the time of the data being collected; b) the results of acceleration data on the micro:bit

* Chart the data collected by using a graph in Excel
* Connect a micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable; compile; and move the micro:bit in the "x" direction.
Then click or tap on Recommended Charts

Finally, click or tap on the option called Line, then click OK. A line chart is used to display trends over time. We will use the line chart because there are many data points over time.

* Connect a micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable; compile; and repeat this experiment by moving the micro:bit in the "x" direction. Then collect and chart the data on Excel.
* Review and analyze the actual micro:bit device data on Excel
