Seventh grade has been studying cells. After the holidays we reviewed animal and plant cells and some of the structures inside cells through participating in an escape room. The students break into groups of 4 or 5 and run through a series of puzzles, analyzing the “clue” and then answering the question posed in each puzzle. As groups complete a puzzle, they find a code and are able to “unlock” (remove) a lock from their lockbox. The first group to remove all locks wins bragging rights (and a treat)!
They enjoy the puzzles, the competition and they are learning!
