The model simulates seismic ground motion during an earthquake. With a rotation sensor, you can change the speed of the motor to generate movement at different frequencies. It will be inspiring to test the effect of short and high frequency earthquakes on buildings.

A nature earthquake creates motions on 3 axes, but since our shake table is moving along the same direction, it will be easy to measure the acceleration on the X-axis with a micro:bit, to give you an accurate result of how strong the earthquake is. Fix the micro:bit at the top of the building, plug it with your computer, open Mind+, and let the data fly.

• Splitter module facilitates the transition from non-coding to micro:bit extension.

We have prepared eight detailed tutorials enabling science observations in Physical Science, Earth & Space Science, and Life Science. These tutorials also cover the usage with micro:bit as an expansion, facilitating the transition for students from coding-free to programming learning.

You can explore “Do plants grow better with more water?” using the BOSON Soil Moisture Sensor.

• In the tutorial “Are we able to ‘see’ conductivity?” you will investigate how different materials and states of matter have different abilities to carry positive and negative charges.

• 2. We often see the moon shining in the dark sky. The moon itself does not produce any light of its own, but why does it seem bright at night? And if we observe it carefully enough, we can find that the moon is not uniformly bright and there are dark shades all over it. Why is that? Following the tutorial Why Does the Moon Shine at Night? to find out.

• With the help of the BOSON splitter module, the output signal is divided into two branches: one links to the OLED display for immediate data display, and the other links to the micro:bit for additional processing.

FEATURES:

• Plug and play
• Easy setting up
• Can be used repetitively
