Tricky one. I've just finished bonding and noticed how much I personified atoms about how much they 'want' a full outer shell. I did also flip it round saying, we are like atoms and typically want to assume the most stable state. Would they rather stand or sit for the whole lesson?

Never waste a demonstration! I love doing a methane rocket to teach balancing equations. Making nylon is one of my favourite demonstrations.

Why not try a digital lab report video? www.ase.org.uk/resources/sc...
Trialled it last year with a chemistry practical and doing it again for a biology investigation this year.

I usually set as homework and have found experience of Minecraft varies so difficult to say. Engagement can be through the roof for some. I have learnt to have other options available, or allow them to work collaborately. For the digestive system I have had some simply do one part.

Through Office365 we have signed pupils up to MinecraftEdu. There is no reason why regular Minecraft can't be used for those who own the game. I ask them to model learning, through screen shots or videos. KS3 they make a digestive system. KS5 models of membrane and cell. Also done nitrogen cycle

We set a 'make a cell model' in year 7 and had lego entries in the past ##ChatBiology
