My Project

Our diverse group of students all have one thing in common- they learn best when the lessons are fun and engaging. This project will turn our lessons into interactive games with 44 minutes to "escape the classroom". Students will need to use their knowledge of scientific concepts to solve the educational riddles to move on to the next puzzle. Cipher puzzles, lock boxes, book safes, key hiders, UV lights, and invisible pens are some of the tools that we will utilize during each escape room, giving students challenges and puzzles to solve when applying their scientific knowledge.

Having the ability to participate in escape room lessons will help our students to use their problem-solving skills to grow and develop a better understanding of scientific phenomena.

We know coming to science class will be the highlight of their day!
