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?

Me and my partner were learning how to make a led [light emitting diode]

blink alternatively using snap 4 aurduino and a electrical breadboard .

2. What did I do well and how do I know?

I did the code well because I knew exactly what code

blocks I needed and how to organize them into the

right places.

3. What challenged me ……?

The thing that challenged me the most was probably the wiring

because it was tricky to get them in the right places and connecting

them to the breadboard plus putting the wires in ground and five volt

and to put the led in the right place.

4. What would I do differently next time to make my learning more successful ….. ?

Next time I think I could read the instructions on how to tell where the places

are.and use the diagram

5. What have I enjoyed about the learning?

I liked having the feeling of being able to code wire up a breadboard and being able to do something a year 10 can do
