Year 5 Lesson 1 - Crumble flash white code

a small computer that can be programmed to control output components and respond to inputs

a microcontroller which can control outputs and respond to inputs

an LED light that can connect to a Crumble

Connecting physical computing devices

Computing

In this unit pupils will use physical computing to explore the concept of selection. Pupils will use conditions to control the flow of a program. They will make use of their knowledge of repetition when introduced to the concept of selection and write programs that utilise this concept.
