In the previous unit, you explored one of M:B's many sensors: the temperature sensor. In this next unit, you will explore more of the M:B sensors and how to integrate them in your coding.

Themes: Sensors, Variable Blocks, Logic Blocks & Physical Computing.

DISCUSS

Why do we use sensors? Where can we find sensors in our daily life?

TEACHER TIP! Compile student submissions in a common place for everyone to see other responses. A padlet could work for this or any shared area you already use with students.
