Minecraft Magma Math and Chemistry Investigation in Igneous Rock
Use the setting of the video game Minecraft to explore Earth Science. Student are engaged by imagining a cavern full of molten rock exists underground. When the magma cools off, what igneous rock types will be formed over time? And for extra credit find out how much gold ore will exist, and if it's worth risking the monsters for the mining! Students solve this real-world math problem with paper and pencil by using the silica content percentage, as minerals will crystallize out of the melt. Stud

Theory in Practice
This activity requires students to flip a coin 100 times and calculate the cumulative probability for each trial of ten. Students should begin to develop the concept of theoretical versus experimental probability as the cumulative number of flips increases. Recognizing independent events, graphing scatter plots, and calculating percentages are skills students will practice during this activity. Teachers may use this activity as an introductory lesson for a unit on probability, in a statistics
