Turn your child’s love of Minecraft into 18 weeks of real-world learning! This multi-subject unit study uses the game’s worlds as a launching point for science, social studies and math. Kids dig into rocks and minerals, power up circuits, explore the deep ocean and journey into space.
 
Three volumes, six weeks each:
Volume 1, Overworld (Weeks 1–6): living things, rocks and minerals, plant life cycles, water, farming and weather
Volume 2, Redstone (Weeks 7–12): electricity, simple machines, speed and motion, 3D geometry, pixel art and shelter engineering
Volume 3, Dimensions (Weeks 13–18): volcanoes, astronomy, the deep ocean, trade and communities, ecosystem restoration and a final Master Builder Showcase
 
Each week includes:
A Big Question to guide learning
Science, social studies and math topics
Hand-picked videos, readings and activities from NASA, PBS, the Smithsonian, National Geographic and the National Park Service
Real photos
A “My Field Notes” space for writing and drawing
 
Format: three printable PDFs with clickable links. Works for one child or a whole co-op.
