STEAM - TERM 3
- Coding (Snap4Arduino) and Arduino Boards
In Term 3, the students have been continuing their STEAM learning using the STEAM Electronics kits. They have been learning how to block code using the program Snap4Arduino. The purpose of this learning has been for the students to control one or more LED lights on an electronic arduino board using code. Each week the coding expectation increased and the students showed perseverance in achieving successful outcomes!
Learning Goal 1. To make an LED blink off/on by controlling voltage from 0V to 5V by programming the Arduino.
Learning Goal 2. To change the speed of blinking to such a high rate that the LED appears to be dimmer.
Learning Goal 3. To make the LED fade on and off by varying the voltage
2018 - Term 3 STEAM - ‘Coding and Arduino Boards’ Reflective Questions
1.What was I learning and why?
I was learning how to code and how to make an LED flash
off/on.I also used an arduino board
2.What did I do well and how do I know?
I made the LED go octurnaly and I can also make a
simple circuit.
3.What challenged me ……?
The coding and wiring everything together and using snap4arduino and I needed a lot
of help to do the code and wiring
4.What would I do differently next time to make my learning more successful ….. ?
Learn a bit more about coding before I try to do more and learn how to use a arduino
bread board
5.What have I enjoyed about the learning?
To make the LEDs flash and building a simple circuit out of salt doug and using a battery pack and a lot of wires and I also liked to use the arduino board to make the L.E.D lights flash fast and go of and on had to know the positive and negative sides which was the hardest bit when I first started
