Lesson 1 - Living Space Introduction
In groups of 2-3:
Try these Coding Challenges:
- Go to: https://makecode.microbit.org/
- Following the instructions at:
Try these Coding Challenges:
- Code the animation so that it matches the rhythm of your own heartbeat
- Run on the spot for 1 minute and then code the animation so that it matches the rhythm of your heartbeat after exercise.
- Code an animation in which the heart beats 10 times (instead of forever).
- Instead of a heartbeat, code a pattern of your own using icons from the drop down menu.
- Create your own icon using the show leds block found in the Basic category.
- Code the letters for your name using the show leds block and then have them display in a pattern
- Why would the astronauts’ heart rates need monitoring?
- Under what circumstances might an astronaut’s heart rate be higher or lower than normal?
- What causes the sound of a heart beat?
- How much blood does an adult pump through the heart with each beat?
- Why does blood need to be circulated throughout the body?
- Why is heart rate used to monitor individuals’ health?

Lesson 2 - Step Counter
- Follow the instructions at:
- Try these Coding Challenges:
- Change the motivational messages to icons or sounds (under “Music”).
- Measure the length of one step in centimetres. Create a code that calculates the distance you travel
Lesson 2 - Temperature
You need to make sure you use the SAME micro:bit from now on and SAVE a copy of your code for future projects. Follow the instructions at:
You may notice that your micro:bit has a different temperature reading than your neighbours. It might need to be calibrated. Read the following:
Try the following coding extensions:
