Coding with microbits !

We have had a chance to do some coding with Microbits. In Maths we had been playing a card game called 'Salute' to practise our basic facts. Mr Murphy decided a digital version may be more fun. Our microbits were coded to produce a random number when flipped and display it on the LED's.

Great fun, great coding and great Maths!

Building our code.

Test run

Game on..... answer is 9, what must my number be?

Salute !

Science Inquiry

Recently we have been using science as a focus for our inquiry. We wanted to be be able to "Notice, Think and Wonder" 

We aimed to be curious, to ask quality questions, seek out answers for ourselves and develop our critical thinking by exploring the physical and material world.

Here's a look at some of our doings...

Bombs away....

What could we change?

How far could they go? How high?

What if we change the projectile?

Does the position of the spoon matter?

Will thicker fabric absorb more? How will we know?

Where is your evidence?

Use your senses....

What happens if we combine them?

How does this fizz?

Can we make a circuit?

Will extra batteries make it glow brighter?

Can we add a switch?

On!

Off........

Series vs Parallel.....

Budding electricians !
