Finish and reinforce a module of work on magnets or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Prior Knowledge Required Magnetic materials can be made into magnets. Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials. Unlike poles attract and like pole repel. There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines. Draw the field lines around a bar magnet. The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field. Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing. There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest. The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases. Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet. When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction. The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south. Explain how an electric bell, a circuit breaker and a relay work Pupils 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 school nurse has been accidentally locked. 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 nurse.

With 42 question cards on permanent magnets and electromagnets this is an enjoyable and challenging board game for up to six players per set. It is suitable for all abilities. Included in this Pack Game board 42 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty Teacher answer sheet Instruction sheet. Preparation Photocopy Board onto A3 paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included). Photocopy question sheets onto paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included) and cut into question cards. How to Play Highest score of dice starts Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares. Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces. If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces. In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet.

Rules of the Game Each player selects seven dominoes from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards. The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction. Dominoes can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched. If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached. If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on magnets and electromagnets. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs. If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair. **Included in this Pack. ** 42 question and answer cards Teacher’s answer sheet. Instruction sheet Preparation Use double-sided printing to copy 1 set per group of 4 pupils. Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use. Cut sheets into cards.
