๐ Please enjoy my gift promo code STEAMMINECRAFT10 to save $10 off. ๐ Join certified educator Ms. Jolene ST for an engaging interactive Minecraft Chemistry course where learners create chemical compounds and fun new game items using the periodic table in Minecraft. This hands-on STEAM course experience enhances creativity and problem-solving skills with step-by-step guided projects, experiments and creative build ideas and inspiration plus peer interaction and collaboration. Compatible with all Minecraft versions except Java (including Bedrock or Education Edition on PC, mobile, iPad, Switch, and other consoles). Learners create in their own worlds and share through device screens or screen sharing. By following specific sequential instructions, having the opportunity to show their creations, and collaborating on projects and experiment ideas, learners develop important life skills and build meaningful connections with cohort members. Learners are invited, and not required, to share their creations and experiments and to support each other and celebrate peer's unique ideas. Sessions are inclusive and incorporate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) supports, ensuring every learner feels valued and included. From building single elements at the atomic level to creating chemical compounds and exciting chemical reactions, each new project immerses learners with the wonders of science within Minecraft. Step by step Minecraft Chemistry lessons include the projects included in this course syllabus, all of which are completed within Minecraft. Projects may be adjusted if needed. โ๏ธ Note, I also offer this high-interest course as a self-paced with course title Science Lab Minecraft Chemistry with either weekly pay or all content upfront with separate options for younger ages and teens. All ages 6-18: https://outschool.com/classes/science-lab-minecraft-chemistry-eRNcBnij?signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link Tween and Teen: https://outschool.com/classes/science-lab-minecraft-chemistry-teen-O3rDaFZT?signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link I look forward to working with your learner and unleashing their potential for Minecraft Chemistry, sparking a passion for learning that extends beyond their usual Minecraft game.
