<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgamedev.win/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/minecraft-education-edition-introduces-chemistry-update.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Microsoft <a href="https://education.minecraft.net/?p=1105845">announced the introduction</a> of chemistry into <em>Minecraft: Education Edition</em>, where concepts like states of matter and structures of atoms can be accessible through the use of new crafting tools designed to explain different chemistry concepts. </p>
<p>Educators are already using <em>Minecraft: Education Edition</em> to teach concepts like coding, the water cycle, photosynthesis and renewable energy. The addition of chemistry in <em>Minecraft</em> allows for teachers to introduce chemistry concepts without the cost of lab equipment, making the subject more accessible to their students. </p>
<p>“Bringing chemistry to <em>Minecraft</em> not only helps spark interest in STEM, but also helps educators engage students in the scientific process, reinforcing creative problem solving and engaging experiments,” <a href="https://education.minecraft.net/?p=1105845">explains</a> <em>Minecraft</em> education director Neal Manegold. “Concepts like states of matter, structure of atoms and chemical reactions become accessible in Minecraft through the immersive world and these brand-new tools.”</p>
<p>The chemistry update is set to launch in February for all <em>Minecraft: Education Edition</em> customers and there’s <a href="https://education.minecraft.net/wp-content/uploads/ChemistryLab_Journal.pdf">already a lab journal</a> for teachers looking to incorporate the program into their curriculum.</p>
