Microbits and Measuring for Earthquakes

-

 

Sudden geological changes ... that can affect Earth's surface (ACSSU096) is listed in the primary curriculum as a year 6 topic. Amongst other possible events this is an opportunity to explore earthquakes.

Using the accelerometer on a Microbit you can be measure movement for an Earthquake Experiment such as the one created by Australian Earthscience

Earthquake Experiment


This video below shows how simple the code is to use the Microbit. If you would be interested in a lesson on how to set up an Earthquake sensor, I would be happy to put it in my TpT store contact me.

Digital Literacy and online testing: part 3

-
Image
This post considers the online NAPLAN writing test using the public demonstration test . In this example the year 5, 7 and 9 writing tests for the narrative and the persuasive are the same question for all years. The main consideration for student success for an online writing test is their typing speed. Regardless of year level students must be able to type as fast as they can write. As they get older their typing speed must increase with writing speed. This means students should be taught to type from lower primary to ensure they have an acceptable typing speed and technique. Word processing skills are mentioned in the English curriculum documents across the country from years 1 to 4. Familiarity with using punctuation is also crucial for the writing test. Students must be able to locate and use: touch typing at the speed they can write - or faster capital letters full stop (which can be activated by pressing space twice) get to a new line using the enter or return key exclamation ma...

Data Representation

Data Representation is mentioned in the primary curriciulum from Foundation to Year 6. In years F-4 it refers to how data can be represented referring to the use of symbols, images, text and numbers. In years 5-6 it is refering to the use of numbers specifically binary and computers use binary to store and transmit information. Data Representation is how data is represented and structured symbolically for storage and communcation by people and digital systems. Information can be transmitted with pictures and images, symbols, text and numbers. These images all represent stop.       National Simultaneous Storytime 2024 Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker is about a bowerbird that collects blue things. Collect some blue things and use them to sort in different ways. This lesson includes: curriculum alignment for all states definitions lesson plan four sorting methods (3 sheets and 1 blank) assessment task The lesson is available  Teachers Pay Teachers   $4 US (abou...

Digital Literacy and Online Testing: part 1

This post considers how to improve performance in NAPLAN ( National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) by ensuring your students have the digital literacy skills to sit an online test. This post considers the year 3 reading test.  In year 3 the writing test is still paper based and the rest are online. From year 5 all tests are online including the writing test that is now typed. This introduces a standardised test that is inadvertently testing digital literacy and the question is...is your school teaching the skills your students need to answer the questions and have a fair go? For the year 3 reading test students need the following skills: navigate numbers to enter their 8 digit ID number enter numbers or text into an answer box click and drag pictures, objects and lines use a trackpad (if you don't have touch screen computers) or mouse turn the timer on and off identify radio buttons for a single choice identify check boxes for multiple choices be able to deselect an in...

Coding for Girls

-
Background For those of you new to my blog. I am documenting my latest project "To increase the number of girls coding in my school". This is the second post in the series. I am not sure how long it will go. Here is a link to my first post in the series Exciting news! I have been invited to speak on implementing coding in a primary school at the NSW Association for Independent Schools ICT integrators conference in September, 2014. To be held at Loreto Normanhurst. See you there! First Meeting Last Friday was the first meeting for my new girls code club, I had about 20 students. I invited girls from two year 3 classes and one year 4 class. Each class has about 12 girls, I also mentioned it to some girls who have shown interest in my Tuesday club that is dominated by boys and only attended a few times. Coincidently there were four year 10 girls sitting near us in the library so I invited them to attend also.  So....a fantastic turn out for the initial meeting with...

Pencilcode.net has some very neat tricks. Did you know it can play music. This was information was originally sent to me as an example by David Bau the pencilcode creator.  https://twitter.com/pencilcoder Using the play command you can make music.  http://imerinet.pencilcode.net/edit/FirstPlay A quaver (or half note) is play "c/2' A crotchet (1 beat) is play "c" A minum (2 beat) is play "c2" A semibreve (4 beats) is play "c4" A dotted crotchet (1 1/2 beats) is play "c11/2" A rest is z Use ^ (for sharp) for c# use play "^c" Use _ (for flat) for Bb use play "_b" Use ' for an octave higher play "c'c" Use , for an octave lower play "c,c" You can do chords by surrounding more than one note in [brackets] play "[G^DG,]" Type this into a new file in Pencilcode.net: play “  F ^G c f  [gE] c ^G  g [^g^D] c  ^G ^g [dD]  ^A F d  [^...

Using On Click - Makey Makey

-
Image
The Makey Makey is a board that replaces the keyboard. It also has mouse functions. If you use the "On Click" function you need to position the mouse over the area on the computer screen you would like to click on. For this project you will need: 2 10x10cm squares of cardboard. Aluminium foil to cover one of the squares. Makey Makey  2 alligator clips USB power cord Sticky tape to attach squares to the floor. They should be taped jumping width apart. Board set-up This project uses the "on click" function to activate an onscreen counter to count the number of jumps. Attach one alligator clip to the on click circle. Attach one alligator clip to the earth. See the steps below to set up the switch. Extension If you need to make the alligator clip longer you can join the clips.  Use tape over the silver connections to make them more secure so the connection is not lost. Screen set-up Open an online counter, this project used  https://coun...

How do I teach STEM? 5 project ideas

-
Image
STEM, STEAM or STREAM is the latest acronym to hit schools. Schools are spending thousands on resources, rooms and even buildings.  This post will consider what STEM is, what it isn't and propose 5 ideas for teaching STEM. STEM is an acronym that encompasses Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The acronym was first coined in "2001 by  American biologist Judith Ramaley" ( Britannica ). Prior to this it was referred to as SMET.  STEM is a pedagogy not a subject area. STEM is learning how to teach with a focus on these four areas and this can be done in a low cost way. The best way to spend scarce money is on teacher training and upskilling teachers to improve their pedagogy (ACER, Hattie), rather than expensive rooms staffed by a specialist. If your specialist moves on all the knowledge and skills are lost. The STEM movement began in the early 2000's when it was noticed American students were underperforming in PISA (Program for International Student A...
