Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
What are the gold circles at the bottom of the micro:bit called?
Rings
Pins
Volts
Activators
How do you activate a Pin Press Event?
Press A and B at the same time
Zap the micro:bit with an electric shock
Touch the pin and Ground at the same time
Tilt the micro:bit
What engineering concept allows the pins to be activated?
Gravity: a force pulls on the pins, activating them when we hold the micro:bit a certain way
Friction: energy is generated when we rub against the pins, causing them to activate
Magnetism: the pins are magnetic, so we use a magnet held near them to activate
Electricity: we touch the pin and Ground, we complete the circuit by conducting electricity through the device
When do we use Conditionals (IF/ELSE) in our code?
When we want something to happen if some condition is true
When we want to repeat the same code over and over
When we want to package multiple lines of code into a single, reusable block.
When we don't know what the code is going to do next
What is the difference between "IF" and "ELSE IF"?
"ELSE IF" always starts a conditional statement. "IF" is used when we want to check for other conditions besides the first
Nothing, either can be used wherever and it won't make a difference.
"IF" always starts a conditional statement. "ELSE IF" is used when we want to check for other conditions besides the first
The code inside the "ELSE IF" block only happens if no other condition was true
Which of the following is an example of a condition (something we'd check for in an IF/ELSE conditional statement)
show string "Hello World"
temperature > 32
repeat 4 times
on start
Which of the following is NOT an example of a condition (something we'd check for in a conditional statement)?
ammo < 0
show string "Game Over!"
activated = True
tilt > 200
Which sensor on the micro:bit detects the brightness in the surrounding area?
Warp Drive
Thermometer
Logo
Light Sensor
Which sensor can read the temperature of the room?
Thermometer
Light Sensor
Quantum Core
Accelerometer
Which of the following is an example of an ANALOG data source?
A button
Pin Press
X-Axis Tilting
A+B button
Which of the following is an example of a DIGITAL data source?
B Button
Y-Axis Tilt
Temperature
Brightness
This is the basic flow all physical computing devices follow. What is the missing middle step called?
Sensing
Control
Process
Software
The MakeCode interface is shown here. What is the area highlighted by the red square?
The simulation of the micro:bit
A drawing board to sketch ideas
Where we drag the code blocks to build a program
Nothing, it's just extra space

Input
In which category can I find the blocks needed for conditional (IF/ELSE) statements?
Logic
Basic

Variables
I want to use the values from the thermometer and light sensors. In which category can I find these blocks?
Radio
Loops
Input
Extensions
True or False: An Analog data source can only have two values: ON or OFF
True
False
True or False: The number the accelerometer outputs is the degree of the angle that the micro:bit is tilted
True
False
