Description
The Coding with Sound and Light Sensor Technologies Kit engages students in the exploration of light and sound with five hands-on coding investigations that use familiar phenomena and real-world sensors to bring concepts to life.
Block-Based Coding
Blockly simplifies the programming process for new coders. Visual coding blocks connect like puzzle pieces to help students master the basics of programming, without having to worry about their syntax.
//code.Node
Wireless and easy-to-use, the //code.Node includes six sensor inputs, a speaker, RGB light, and an LED array that enables students to explore exciting phenomena using block-based programs that collect, display, and respond to data.
Student Activities and Video Lessons
The Coding with Sound and Light Sensor Technologies Kit includes five investigations with video lessons, printed student worksheets, and an interactive digital flipbook that presents the resources in an engaging, student-friendly format. Each lesson is based upon the latest science standards and incorporates cross-curricular connections to reinforce key concepts in computer science, mathematics and language arts.
Activities and Video Lessons include:
- What is a Color Sensor?
- RGB LED: How to Control Color
- Engineering Sound Level Sensors
- Detect an Intruder: Home Alarm Systems
- Investigating Electric Tuners
Help students develop competency in:
- Science
- Computational thinking
- Data collection and analysis
- Mathematics
- Technology and programming
- Problem-solving, logical reasoning and critical thinking
