Life Systems Model in Minecraft

In this assignment you will create a Minecraft model to explore an issue or topic in Life Systems. The goal is to hand in a SCREEN RECORDING WITH A VOICEOVER of your minecraft world giving us a tour and explaining your details in clear language. 

Step 1: Decide on your theme in Life Systems. The range of topics is huge!! It’s important to focus on interactions between living and non-living things in a habitat or human intervention. Some possible topics could be: human causes of climate change, how a species depends on the non-living elements of its habitat, extinction of a species and its causes, symbiosis between species, a specific food web, examples of human conservation, etc...

Step 2: Research your topic with at least two good sources and WRITE one and half to 2 pages about your topic. THIS MUST BE CLEARED BY ME BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR WORLD. Hand this in in Google Classroom.

Step 3: Create your world in any version of minecraft. Make sure to focus on the INTERACTION between the living and the non-living. How are they working together or against each other? How do they affect one another? Try and show this visually as well as verbally.

Step 4: Record a tour of your world using screen capture software and/ or voice recording software. Turn this in in Google Classroom.
