# Radio and Communication  This lesson covers the use of more than one micro:bit to share and combine data. Students will explore a complex epidemiological program (Infection) that demonstrates the Radio functionality of the micro:bit. Students will send and receive numbers and strings in a series of guided activities. Finally, students are asked to collaborate so that they can share their micro:bits and create a project together. ## Lesson objectives Students will... * Understand how to use the Radio blocks to send and receive data between micro:bits * Understand the specific types of data that can be sent over the Radio ## Lesson structure * Introduction: Radio & communication * Unplugged Activity: Infection simulation * micro:bit Activity: Marco Polo & Morse Code * Project: Radio * Assessment: Rubric * Standards: Listed ## Lesson plan 1.
