- 1:0545 minAssess
Demonstrations and walkthroughs
For each learner: check the AUTO day and night rules and all three modes, press the button while the servo moves, unplug the DHT11 data wire, and ask for a walkthrough from sensor reading to vent movement.

Results
Checkpoint: ready to move on?
Every learner has a marked Task C grid, with feedback and a reassessment date where needed.
Extension for fast finishers
Log conditions and vent events to Serial with RTC timestamps.
Catch-up path
Learners marked NYC prepare the missed criteria for S49.
Homework and practice
Choose the extension topics that support the final project.
Facilitator notes
- Task C demonstrations take longer than Tasks A and B. If needed, finish the last few at the start of S47.
