Blink

To write a scratch code that activates the LED on the gPiO box

Connect wiring to external bulb.

Children are to try out different inputs


Notes: Trained up Reece and Taylor to cascade this through class.

Difficulties with space to set up all the equipment.
Building on their work in year 4, pupils should construct simple series circuits, to help them to answer questions about what happens when they try different components, for example, switches, bulbs, buzzers and motors. They should learn how to represent a simple circuit in a diagram using recognised symbols.

To broadcast for varying amounts of time controlled from code

Add a buzzer as fog horn

Children are to try out different inputs
Lighthouse code
Pupils might work scientifically by: systematically identifying the effect of changing one component at a time in a circuit; designing and making a set of traffic lights, a burglar alarm or some other useful circuit.


What is the password?
