Coding with Sound and Light Sensor Technologies Kit

These STEM activities are designed for use with the PASCO //code.Node and ST-7830 Coding with Sound & Light Sensor Technologies Kit. You may preview and download individual student activities, or log in to view teacher files.

Grade Level: Middle School

Subject: STEM

Activities

01) RGB LED: How to Program Color

Using the //code.Node, students will alter the intensity of the individual lights on the RGB LED to create an array of colors and demonstrate knowledge of color mixing using the RGB color model.

02) What is a Color Sensor?

Students will use the light sensor on the //code.Node to collect light reflectivity data for several different colors. Using this data they will then create a program that turns the //code.Node into a color detecting sensor.

03) Engineering Sound Level Meters

Using a //code.Node, students ill use real-time sound intensity data to create a working sound level meter.

04) Investigating Electronic Tuners

Students will become human electronic tuners as they try to match the output frequency of the //code.Node speaker to the frequency of a set of tuning forks.

05) Detect an Intruder: Home Alarm Systems

Students will use their knowledge of sound and light behavior to program the //code.Node to act as an Intruder Alert System.
