IGCSE Excretion and Kidney ONLINE Escape Room - perfect for revision, homework, cover lesson

The ONLINE Murder Mystery Escape Room focuses on human excretion and the kidney.

It matches the IGCSE Edexcel specification but can be used with any specification focusing on the following specification points:

• understand how the kidney carries out its roles of excretion and
  osmoregulation
• describe the structure of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters,
  bladder and urethra
• describe the structure of a nephron, including the Bowman’s capsule and
  glomerulus, convoluted tubules, loop of Henle and collecting duct
• describe ultrafiltration in the Bowman’s capsule and the composition of the
  glomerular filtrate
• understand how water is reabsorbed into the blood from the collecting duct
• understand why selective reabsorption of glucose occurs at the proximal
  convoluted tubule
• describe the role of ADH in regulating the water content of the blood
• understand that urine contains water, urea and ions

Digital Escape rooms are an interactive activity which promote both individual learning and peer collaboration through problem solving.
Each escape room has a range of activities to challenge the students whilst also covering the specification.
The escape room focuses on the IGCSE specification. This means they are an excellent resource to use a revision tool. All the activities are online, eliminating the need for printing materials.
Students will be given a link to access the digital escape room. There is a timer included in the challenge but can be ignored as it has no effect on the outcome.
You do not need to provide an email address or have a google account to access the material. Escape rooms can be completed on laptops, tablets
and mobile phones so they can be set as homework or used in cover lessons.
Students enjoy working through the challenges with a partner but they can be completed alone.
Students will need to look closely at the images on the link. Once clicked, the image links to a clue or activity which needs to be completed in the lock form.
The lock form aids the student by providing direction as to which images to click.
Answers should be written in lowercase letters and no spaces between the numbers.
There is a teacher answer sheet provided if you need to guide students.
