Since September I teach CS and Technology Education for 5th and 6th grades at my children's school. Last Friday we discussed about plants cultivation and we used Minecraft to show the impact of environment factors (soil, water and light) on plants growth as well as the related human activities.
We chose a nice place, we used our tools to flatten it and to improve it (by replacing podzol with fertile soil), we made plans for our farm then some of use created the irrigation system while others prepared the soil with hoes and planted the seeds. The harvest was then stored in nicely labelled chests.
Now the kids are waiting impatiently for the animal farming lesson :)
