Plants - Save the Substitute Teacher Escape Room - Middle School Science

Finish and reinforce a  middle school module on plants or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson which includes:

Anatomy of the flowering plant

Life cycle of the flowering plant

Photosynthesis

Students have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school exam paper store  in which the substitute teacher has been accidentally locked in the stationery store.

The pack contains:

PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer);

crossword;

word search;

dominoes activity;

worksheet;

code breaker sheet;

answer keys;

lesson plan.

If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can 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 or the teacher can pretend to phone the school office for the staff to attempt to release the teacher.
