Science Focus: Data Logging with micro:bits

In this CPD webinar we explore the data logging capabilities of micro:bits to measure, log and present temperature, sound and light data in conjunction with the tool 2Graph.

This webinar follows on from the ‘Getting started with micro:bits’ webinar. We would advise you to watch this webinar recording here if you are new to using micro:bits.

In this webinar will explore:

• The main input sensors of a micro:bit - the accelerometer, temperature sensor, microphone and LED light sensors.
• Collecting, logging and presenting data collected through these sensors in conjunction with the tool 2Graph.
• The Year 6 micro:bit unit in the Purple Mash Computing Scheme of work

Benefits and outcomes:

• Understanding how programming physical devices can stimulate Scientific thinking
• Understand how the Purple Mash Computing Scheme can support you in delivering the computing curriculum in your class;
• Save time when planning and finding resources;

There will be opportunities for hands-on exploration during the session, so to get the best out of the session you will need:

• A laptop/chromebook device with a USB port
• A micro:bit with a USB lead (battery pack optional)
