Unplugged: Infection Simulation
This activity engages students in a hands-on simulation of disease spread using micro:bit devices. Each student requires a micro:bit and a battery pack, while the teacher acts as the Master controller. The simulation consists of four main parts: Setup, Explore, Discuss, and Test.
Key Features:
- Interactive Learning: Students experience the dynamics of disease transmission in a controlled environment.
- Critical Thinking: Encourages students to propose and test hypotheses about disease spread.
- Collaborative Discussion: Facilitates group discussions on observations and strategies.
Use Cases:
- Ideal for science classes focusing on health education and epidemiology.
- Can be used in workshops to teach about viruses and public health strategies.
- Suitable for engaging students in STEM education through practical applications of coding and technology.
