Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids: Family-Friendly Projects for Exploring and Teaching Math, Science, History, and Culture Through Creative Building (Volume 7) (Lab for Kids, 7)
Description WHAT CAN MINECRAFT TEACH? Minecraft encourages players to create, share, and innovate as no other game has ever done before. It promotes continuous learning. Teaching and learning from others is as much a part of the game as building a shelter or fighting creepers. While playing in creative mode, with an unlimited supply of every block in their inventory available, players have the freedom to explore their imagination. Players monitor their inventories, conduct ongoing needs assessments, and consider options to expand and improve their character’s status in the game. By learning more skills and discovering or crafting more resources, players better prepare themselves for each day, and the reward for their hard work is enhanced playability. When playing in survival mode, players must rely upon a varied and changing set of skills to achieve their immediate and long-term goals. Minecraft encourages numerous positive traits and builds life skills and spatial understanding. Players develop problem-solving strategies for surviving each night while setting and prioritizing goals for the next day. It is only through perseverance and planning that players will be successful. Further, players value the craftsmanship and skills of others while sharing knowledge and innovations, especially in creative multiplayer mode. They develop large-scale, imaginative, team- oriented projects and break down tasks to assign pieces to players based on skill sets. This interdependence builds positive relationships and flexible thinkers. The vast amount of creative and humorous storytelling and adventure sharing online reflects Minecraft’s popularity. Survival tips, creative ideas, and answers to player questions are only a click or two away on the Internet. Younger players follow and often imitate their favorite YouTube stars, producing and sharing videos and tutorials of their own and emulating a business model for the twenty-first century. Lab 7: Cookies! Crafting cookies in and out of the game make this the yummiest lab. To complete the family activity, bake a batch of delicious cookies to explore the science behind cooking. Cookies were the first food in Minecraft that could be stacked. Stackable food allows you to carry more when exploring the world. But not all cookies in Minecraft are edible, as you’ll see in the Minecraft part of this lab. Fig. 1: Notice the changes in texture as you mix the dry and wet ingredients. Cooking is a science. When we combine ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter to make cookies, they change chemically and physically, first as each ingredient is added and mixed, which changes their texture. During baking, cookies go through a chemical change as the butter and other ingredients melt, aligning their atoms in new combinations. That physical change leaves the cookies lumpy with yummy bumps. Fig. 1: Harvest some wheat and cocoa beans and place on a crafting table to make “edible” chocolate chip cookies. (Pocket Edition is shown here.) Crafting cookies in real life is much more delicious than the in-game counterpart, but it can be just as fun. In this part of the lab, create cookies.
