Abstract

We report findings from surveying and interviewing 10 middle-school science teachers after 14, 1-hour online trainings. Sessions prepared teachers for embedding a BBC micro:bit based automated table-top greenhouse curriculum, as developed by the research team for middle-school science classrooms. Teachers expressed strong interest and confidence in this curriculum as a tool to engage all students in exploring computation in science, suggesting a promising way of using cross-disciplinary hands-on projects in science teaching and learning.
