Finish and reinforce a middle school lesson on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale) or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where Thumper the school rabbit has been accidentally locked without food or water…
Prior Knowledge Required
- An acid is a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6.
- A base is a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14.
- Concentrated acids and bases are corrosive.
- Know that neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline.
- The pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14).
- Hydroxides are soluble bases.
- Many foods contain dilute weak acids and bases and some example.
- Recognise the formula of some acids and bases.
What You Get
- PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer);
- crossword;
- word search;
- dominoes activity;
- worksheet;
- code breaker sheet;
- answers;
- 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 rabbit
