Working Microbit Geothermal and Solar Energy Model

Created by

Samantha Hartmann

Using the Microbit- your students can make a working model of solar panels and geothermal heat. The solar panels work using the Microbit light sensor. The geothermal heat works using the Microbit temperature sensor and hand warmers. (Mini-lesson included on how to use each sensor.) If you have a hummingbird robotics system, there is a bonus lesson that includes using the sensors to have a light that goes from blue to red when and a dowel rod spins/raises a washer on a string when the temper
