Run the acceleration experiment by moving the actual micro:bit and observe the changes in the black line. Run the acceleration experiment by vigarously moving the plate in any direction or move the object below the micro:bit (such as a table).
Every time the micro:bit moves in any direction, you generate data points that can be reviewed in Excel later. The more attempts to move the micro:bit, the more data to be reviewed in Excel.

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 any 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. You have two options to Analyze Data:
First, notice that by moving the actual micro:bit in any direction, you will change the values of the black, flat horizontal line. The black line will change from being flat to being a waving black line. The changing values of the micro:bit accelereration is being measured in milli-gravities. Next, notice that by moving the micro:bit below, there is a changing acceleration value. Finally, notice that the LED display will fluctate based on the movement of the micro:bit. * Local File: Save the data to your local Downloads folder and open it in Excel.

We want to chart 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 charts area beneath the simulator.
