Description
The Micro:bit has a variety of sensors. They are an excellent way to collect data for science investigations. I like the temperature sensor. It provides immediate feedback for something that students can readily relate to. The temperature sensor is a good way to investigate a variety of science concepts.
We are going to transfer data from the Micro:bit temperature sensor directly to our computer. This is a good introduction for the collection of data from Micro:bit sensors. The Micro:bit will collect sensor data. The data will be saved to a CSV, Comma Separated Value, file. The CSV file can be imported into any spreadsheet program. We will import the file into a Google Sheet and create a line chart.
