Finish and reinforce a middle school module on states of matter, change of state, mixtures and separating mixtures or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where Chomper, the school guinea pig has been accidentally locked.
Prior Knowledge Required
- Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
- Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases.
- Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles.
- Change of state including sublimation.
- Pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume.
- Diffusion.
- Elements and compounds are pure substance and mixtures are not.
- Meaning of the terms solute, solvent, solution, soluble and insoluble.
- Particle theory to explain why stirring, temperature and particle size affect the rate of dissolving.
- Particle theory to explain dissolving, suspensions and saturated solutions.
- Extracting information from solubility curves.
- The composition and physical properties of mixtures
- Evaporation to dryness and crystallisation
- Distillation
- Fractional distillation
- Filtration
- Chromatography
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 guinea pig

Kinetic Theory of Matter, Mixtures and Solutions, Separating Mixtures - 3 Fully Resourced Lessons Plus Escape Room
Three comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on particle (kinetic) theory of matter, the composition and properties of mixtures and separating mixtures for middle school, plus an enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson to consolidate learning. Each teaching pack contains at least thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where Chomper the school guinea pig has been locked accidentally without food and water. **What’s Covered** * Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. * Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases. * Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles. * Change of state including sublimation. * Pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume. * Diffusion. * Elements and compounds are pure substance and mixtures are not. * Meaning of the terms solute, solvent, solution, soluble and insoluble. * Particle theory to explain why stirring, temperature and particle size affect the rate of dissolving. * Particle theory to explain dissolving, suspensions and saturated solutions. * Extracting information from solubility curves. * The composition and physical properties of mixtures * Evaporation to dryness and crystallisation * Distillation * Fractional distillation * Filtration * Chromatography **What’s Included for Each Lesson** * Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz * Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) * Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) * Foldable * Cut and stick activity. * Worksheet to support the PowerPoint (x3) * Fact sheet * Homework plus answers * Fact share worksheet * Pupil progress self-assessment checklist * Exit Ticket * Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources **Escape Room** * PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); * crossword; * word search; * dominoes activity; * worksheet; * code breaker sheet; * answers; * lesson plan. **For more high quality resources visit:** [Elf Off the Shelf Resources](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/penyrheol1)
