This is an applied project where your students will choose from three different project options, then use the design thinking process to create a Micro:bit project that solves their user’s problem. In Lesson 1, each student will read all three project overviews. Then, they will choose the project they want to work on for the remaining lessons in the project!

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will learn more about their user and complete the first two steps in the Design Thinking process: Empathize and Define. They will then read about three different users and select one for their project! Students should only work on the material that corresponds to their project choice. For example: if a student chose Project 2A, they would only work on the Project 2A content.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will ideate and sketch designs for their micro:bits project. Additionally, they will create a budget for their prototype. Note: the presentation and worksheet for this lesson are the same for all project choices. Regardless of project choice, all students will brainstorm and sketch ideas!

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will use Micro:bits and MakeCode to create a prototype of their wearable. Note: Students will all be working on their prototypes during this lesson, regardless of project choice.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will finalize their Micro:bits wearables, create a poster advertisement for their project, share their project with their peers, give/receive feedback on each other’s projects, submit their designs, and answer a series of reflection questions. Note: the content for 2A, 2B, and 2C are almost identical in this section. This is a great chance for students to teach each other about their specific project choice and user!

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

Through this series of three lessons, students will gain an understanding of the basics of mineral science. In their investigation they will also work through the scientific process as they practice their observation skills, form hypotheses, and make conclusions. Teachers and students alike will love the easy to understand background information and vibrant photos. Each lesson comes complete with clear learning objectives and instructions, as well as supplemental discussion and explanations. Also provided are the accompanying student handouts and a resource list.

Created by the Concord Consortium, the Molecular Workbench is "a modeling tool for designing and conducting computational experiments across science." First-time visitors can check out one of the Featured Simulations to get started. The homepage contains a number of curriculum modules which deal with chemical bonding, semiconductors, and diffusion. Visitors can learn how to create their own simulations via the online manual, which is available here as well. The Articles area is quite helpful, as it contains full-text pieces on nanoscience education, quantum chemistry, and a primer on how transistors work. A good way to look over all of the offerings here is to click on the Showcase area. Here visitors can view the Featured simulations, or look through one of five topical sections, which include Biotech and Nanotechnology. Visitors will need to install the free Molecular Workbench software, which is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
