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.

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
