The class can identify and explain how information about temperature might be displayed using an electronic sensor device and how the information can be interpreted.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to practise using sensors to capture and record temperatures that can be measured in different locations around the school building and grounds
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe how to use collected data about the weather and a template to record temperatures that can be measured in different locations around the school using an electronic sensor.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use sensors to capture and measure temperatures that can be found in different locations around the school.
This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to investigate how to use different forms of technological sensors to record, monitor and present weather information and data. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
