Learn all about the life cycle of frogs taught through my educator created 4 video lesson content within Minecraft, creating immersive educational fun. Frog life cycle real world facts and a deep dive on Minecraft frog facts including advanced commands are also included, as well as extension from a 3-stage amphibian frog life cycle through a 7-stage real world explanation and comparison. Your learner will get hands-on in Minecraft, building a frog habitat, frog banner, frog statue, and observing frog development stages actively engaging with the subject matter, promoting deeper understanding and retention. This approach encourages creativity and problem-solving. By integrating the frog life cycle within Minecraft, I provide learners with a dynamic and immersive learning experience that combines fun with education. I also include bonus Minecraft themed activity pages with two frog life cycle mazes, a Sudoku, and frog life cycle template. I am very responsive to learner posts and respond answering questions and with positive specific feedback to build posts within 24 hours. All lessons are provided upfront. Extended content access of 1 year.
