Finish and reinforce a middle school module on breathing and the respiratory system or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Prior Knowledge Required
- Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs.
- Respiration is the release of energy from glucose.
- Breathing provides the oxygen for aerobic respiration and gets rid of waste carbon dioxide.
- Label the trachea, right bronchus, bronchiole, alveolus, intercostal muscle, rib, diaphragm.
- Label a diagram of an alveolus and show the direction of diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Experiment using limewater to compare the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled and exhaled air.
- Compare the percentage of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air.
- Mechanism of breathing.
- Changes in volume and pressure inside the chest during inhalation and exhalation.
- Evaluate a model of the mechanism of breathing.
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;
- 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 teacher.
