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.
