Finish and reinforce a middle school module on cellular respiration or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson
Students have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the store cupboard in which the stray cat which the school office has been secretly feeding has been locked.
Prior Knowledge Required
- Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs.
- Respiration is the release of energy from glucose.
- Yeast is a unicellular fungus that undergoes fermentation.
- Bread, beer and wine are products of fermentation.
- Respiration happens in the mitochondria of all plant and animal cells.
- Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to release energy from glucose.
- Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen to release energy from glucose and produces lactic acid which causes muscle cramps.
- Word equations for aerobic respiration and fermentation.
- Conditions necessary for fermentation.
- Body is in oxygen debt after anaerobic respiration.
- Breathing rate remains high after anaerobic respiration lactic until acid has been cleared.
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 cat
