The ONLINE Tower of London escape room focuses on Human Transport.

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

  • describe the composition of the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma
  • understand the role of plasma in the transport of carbon dioxide, digested food, urea, hormones and heat energy
  • understand how adaptations of red blood cells make them suitable for the transport of oxygen, including shape, the absence of a nucleus and the presence of haemoglobin
  • understand how the immune system responds to disease using white blood cells, illustrated by phagocytes ingesting pathogens and lymphocytes releasing antibodies specific to the pathogen
  • understand how vaccination results in the manufacture of memory cells,
    which enable future antibody production to the pathogen to occur sooner,
    faster and in greater quantity
  • understand how platelets are involved in blood clotting, which prevents
    blood loss and the entry of micro-organisms
  • describe the structure of the heart and how it functions
  • understand how the structure of arteries, veins and capillaries relate to their function

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 and no spaces between the numbers.
There is a teacher answer sheet provided if you need to guide students.

Excellent resource - very creative and very well designed. This added a different dimension to an otherwise mundane revision lesson.
