DESCRIPTION
Plants are one of the compulsory contents in Hong Kong primary school general studies / secondary school science subjects. Plant growth factors include water/carbon dioxide/sunshine, etc.; different plants require different light/temperature/humidity grow and change.
This set contains all smart components for plant growth, with the use of Micro:bit to allow students to control and create a suitable environment for plant growth. At the same time, through regular observation and recording data to see the growth rate of plants, learn the necessary conditions for plant growth.
The instruction manual is included with the kit, convenient for teachers and students to make.
** Note: micro:bit not included. You can purchase separately here.
Multiple Sensor and Actuator Board
The smart city kit works with Smarthon's IoT:bit WiFi extension board to create different IoT projects.

Smart Plant Projects
Have you ever imagined how to design your own smart plant? This set can make at least 5 smart plant set items. The following are some reference examples. Promoting plant growth can be divided into four basic elements, including light, water, temperature, and humidity.
SMART PLANT LIGHT
The surrounding light is detected by the light sensor, and the LED plant light is turned on when there is no natural light.
AUTOMATIC WATERING
Use the soil moisture sensor to automatically irrigate the plants when the soil is dry.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The fan is automatically switched on and off to control the ambient temperature.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
Check the humidity through the humidity sensor. When the humidity is low, spray water to the plant to increase the humidity.
REAL-TIME OBSERVATION AND RECORD DATA
Observe the plants in real-time and record the data to Excel via radio.
Product Features
 |
Learning the knowledge of a plant as the main focus All accessories are for plant learning. Mainly about the knowledge of a plant, programming as the second priority. Cultivate students to improve their lives. Integrate STEM elements into regular courses. The package is designed with the curriculum as the main axis, mainly to learn the curriculum rather than other technical knowledge. |
|
Simple programming Use mainstream hardware Micro:bit motherboard, compatible with Micro: bit Makecode platform to facilitate teaching. The set is easy to use. The motherboard is a sensor computer, which directly reads the data. It is convenient to observe the data changes. A total of 13 kinds of sensors/drivers are enough to complete a variety of creative projects. The extension set includes 4 additional components. |
