    Concepts

                     Animation  Basics:  Students  will  learn  how  to  use  coding  to  create  a
                     simple animation on the micro:bit screen by making a heart shape grow

                     and shrink.

                     Observations

                     In the Beating Heart activity, students will observe:

                        • They can see how coding makes the heartbeat continuously, like a real

                        heart pumps blood.

                        • Students will understand how to create moving pictures (animations)

                        using simple computer code.

                     Application

                     Students, you may have noticed the heartbeat

                     animation on a smart watch when using the
                     heart  monitoring  function.  This  animation

                     visually represents your pulse, syncing with
                     the beats detected by the watch’s sensors.

                     Creating a Diamond Pattern with Micro:bit

                     To create a diamond pattern on the Micro:bit, you'll use its LED screen to
                     light up different spots in a pattern that looks like a diamond. Here’s an
                     activity to do it:

                     Overview

                     In  this  activity,  students  will  create  a  diamond  pattern  using  the
                     Micro:bit’s LED display. They will write simple code to light up specific

                     LEDs on the Micro:bit to form the shape of a diamond. This activity helps
                     students understand basic coding and how to control individual LEDs on

                     the Micro:bit.

                                                                           Exploring the Micro:bit for Programming  55
