Another Madame Curie project done in Minecraft. These students recreated the Sorbonne, where Madame Curie conducted her research resulting in her discovery of radium and radioactivity. This was the final assessment after my eighth grade science students read Madame Curie: A Biography, written by her daughter Eve Curie. A fairly cool project. It could have been improved with a shorter introduction, better sound for the second student and a more formalized prepared script.
The culminating project of the cell unit in 7th grade science at Brentwood School was for students to create a Cell City. The students were require to create a cell city based on a particular theme. The project should contain analogies to the structure and function of the various parts of the cell. These two students choose and UFO analogy for their project, and of course created it in Minecraft. While there are some inconsistencies in the content, I think it is safe to say that the kids did a pretty good job.
