Prior knowledge required: · current, voltage and resistance – defining and understanding, units, measuring; · circuits and symbols; · series and parallel circuits – current, voltage, switches, lamps; · current and voltage varying with number of batteries; · Ohms Law. Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a box with a combination lock containing an antidote to a substance, accidentally ingested by the laboratory. The substance is the departments a prototype, orally administered sunscreen being developed by the department which has unfortunately been found to turn the skin of mice purple and which has not yet been tested on humans and is also therefore potentially toxic. The pack contains: · PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); · crossword ; · word search; · dominoes activity; · worksheet Differentiated over 2 versions); · code breaker sheet; · answer keys; · lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword , word search and domino can be used. With a minimum of 50 minutes available one of the differentiated worksheets can also be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online if using an actual box containing an unopened bottle of a soft drink, with the label removed, for a member of the winning team to take to the technician. In the absence of a locked box, until the code is found, as each group completes a team member can be dispatched to the prep room for the technician to ”try the code”. Alternatively all the combination locks in the science department had been set to the same combination for an escape room lesson including the one used on the box with the antidote in the prep room. The combination has been lost but if the class can open the one in front of them it will open the one on the antidote! See more Elf Off the Shelf resources on this topic and many others

Social Studies, History, History: USA, Government, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Activities
Elect a President: Cooperative Work Activity An engaging teaching resource best suited for Grades 6-9, designed with a focus on Social Studies subjects, particularly History: USA and Government. The Concept This innovative activity introduces students to the fascinating world of elections. It creatively ties in aspects from WWII and leadership dynamics into an interactive learning session. Students work in pairs to assess potential presidential candidates based on defined attributes. Candidate Profiles Six anonymous presidential candidates' profiles are outlined – each presented with five positive attributes and one negative trait. These profiles are drawn from historical figures across different timelines, adding an additional layer of intrigue to the learning process. The Task Through a highly engaging exercise, students need to rank these figures according to who they believe would make ideal presidents based on the listed criteria. This module not only introduces them to election dynamics but also encourages critical thinking around leadership qualities and decision-making capabilities. Note: A simple click by tutors reveals each candidate's identity—an interesting twist that often surprises students about their primary or last-ranking choices. Potential Follow-Up Activities Discuss why certain candidates were selected over others; Analyze valuable traits according to student pairs; Delineate upon traits deemed insignificant; Etc... The Tools We Provide: Crafted using Microsoft PowerPoint making it easier for modification by educators as per their needs. *Can be used as part of whole class instruction, small group sessions or even individual homework assignments. Conclusion: The Elect a President: Cooperative Work Activity introduces a unique blend of history and government through interactive learning. It serves as an excellent introductory module for lessons on elections, WWII or leadership concepts.

Honor your father by transforming him into a superhero in your very own action-adventure tale! Our collection of narrative writing guides aims to facilitate the journey from "conceptualization to completion" by allowing students' creativity to ignite their writing, instead of the other way around. Unlike many traditional creative writing tasks, our Father's Day guide initiates the process by encouraging students to make straightforward and enjoyable decisions about the fundamental aspects of their narrative even before they begin to jot down their ideas or start typing! You'll be amazed at how simply your students will be able to craft their own Father's Day narrative. Beginning with straightforward directions, examples, and tips, students will then be able to plan out their story using multiple choice characterization options, short answer plotting devices, and map-drawing activity. An outlining guidance completes the narrative planning process. By then, students will be excited to start drafting their story. A clear peer edit activity is included with this resource, as well as a Common Core-tied rubric. Perfect as an instant sub plan (just print and leave on your desk!) or as a foundation for a week-long writing project, your download provides: A storyboard template guiding students in choosing their plot's setting, protagonist, character development, antagonist, and conflict (little to no writing needed!)
