Finish and reinforce a module of work on magnets or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Prior Knowledge Required
- Magnetic materials can be made into magnets.
- Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials.
- Unlike poles attract and like pole repel.
- There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines.
- Draw the field lines around a bar magnet.
- The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field.
- Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing.
- There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest.
- The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases.
- Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet.
- When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction.
- The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.
- Explain how an electric bell, a circuit breaker and a relay work
Pupils 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 school nurse has been accidentally locked.
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 nurse.
