STEAM - TERM 3
- Coding (Snap4Arduino) and Circuit Boards

In Term 3, the students have been continuing their STEAM learning using the STEAM Electronic kits. They have been learning how to block code using the program Snap4Arduino. The purpose of this learning has been for the students to control one or more LED lights on an electronic Arduino board using code. Each week the coding expectation increased and the students showed perseverance in achieving successful outcomes!

Learning Goal 1. To make an LED blink on/off by controlling voltage from 0V to 5V by programming the Arduino.

Learning Goal 2. To change the speed of blinking to such a high rate that the LED appears to be dimmer.



Learning Goal 3. To make the LED fade on and off by varying the voltage.

2018 - Term 3 STEAM - ‘Coding and Circuit Boards’ Reflective Questions.

Paige and izabela's LED circuit!

What was I learning and why? I was learning how to code and how to make an LED flash alternately because it was a way to proceed a higher level at a lower class.


What did I do well and how do I know? I did very well with working together with Izabela and putting together the circuits and coding. I know because me and Izabela Made 5 LED lights flash alternately.


What challenged me? Trying to help others without being appreciated and wiring all LED lights the correct way.


What would I do differently next time to make my learning more successful? I would ask them to be patient while I try to help them and use the booklet a little bit more often.
