• Description: Micro:bit Science Explorers This term, Hannah's micro:bit class offers a unique and engaging learning experience for participants where they will dive into practical, hands-on science investigations using the versatile micro:bit. Participants will conduct real world experiments exploring conductivity and a twist on the 'Egg Drop' experiment using the micro:bit's sensors to collect data from which they will analyse and report results. Each session includes a workbook and materials for home experiments. Equip your child with the skills to explore, experiment and understand the fascinating world of science with the micro:bit! Suitable for those new to micro:bit coding as well as those who have been to classes before. Requirements: * A micro:bit (V2) starter kit. (Even better if you have 2 micro:bits but not essential). * 2 crocodile clip cables * 2 screens - one to watch the tutorial and a second screen to program the micro:bit. You can also program the micro:bit using the micro:bit app on ipad or Android tablets. (see PDF in session 1) * A selection of materials to test such as aluminium foil, cardboard, fabric, a pencil and fruit. * A carrier bag, a bin bag, some reclaimed packaging or crafting materials and/or Lego. You can purchase micro:bit starter kits here: https://www.okdo.com/p/okdo-microbit-getting-started-kit-en?utm_source=edu-109&utm_medium=referral (affiliate link) and crocodile clip cables here: https://www.okdo.com/p/crocodile-leads-pack-of-10/?utm_source=edu-109&utm_medium=referral (affiliate link) L/O: In this project, learners will: * Code the micro:bit to collect data from scientific experiments. * Explore how measurements change depending on different factors. * Draw conclusions using the data collected. * Test and explore conductivity and the difference between conductors and insulators. * Understand the Laws of Motion and Gravitational Force. * Design an egg carrier that will minimise the force exerted when colliding with the groun
