The activity contains 8 tasks students must complete in order to 'escape'.

Answers are entered into a Google Form (provided). The task cards are included digitally within the Google Form, but a printable pdf version is also included for you.

See individual resources for preview videos.

Note: The digital escape rooms are designed to be a fun way to review and consolidate key terms in science. It is not designed to be a rigorous assessment of learning.

Note: Due to the nature of the form and privacy issues of students across multiple schools completing it, you won't receive the results of students. Since it is self-marked and they can't progress to the next level without getting the answer correct, this isn't usually an issue. However, if you need to see that your students completed the task for accountability, after purchasing, please send me an email at katrina@theanimatedteacherblog.com and I will send you a form just for your class with the results spreadsheet.
