Escape the Mad Scientist's Lab! (A Biotechnology Escape Room Activity)
Embark on an exhilarating biotechnological adventure with this captivating escape room!
In a race against time, students find themselves trapped in Dr. Znorgberg's diabolical laboratory, armed only with their acquired biotechnology prowess. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as they strive to outsmart the nefarious scientist and his impending clone army.
This dynamic review activity seamlessly combines rigor with excitement, taking a page from the popular "escape the room" trend to create an immersive online experience. Designed to cap off a comprehensive biotechnology unit, students will put their knowledge to the test in five thrilling stations:
Gel Electrophoresis Challenge (Station One): Unravel the mysteries of gel electrophoresis results to unveil a crucial shape. Armed with a decoder ring, students decode the escape sequence, setting the stage for their ultimate breakout.
Artificial Selection Maze (Station Two): Navigate through a maze of choices by answering multiple-choice questions on artificial selection. Each correct answer leads them closer to freedom, as they decipher the escape path to victory.
Cloning Conundrum (Station Three): Distinguish between examples of cloning and non-cloning scenarios. As students make their choices, they compile a binary code that will serve as their key to liberation.
Recombinant DNA Quest (Station Four): Tackle questions about recombinant DNA, unlocking vital pieces of the escape code as they progress.
GMO Cipher Challenge (Station Five): Armed with newfound knowledge of GMOs, students merge two sections of code using a cunning "zig-zag cipher." The decoded solution guides them to the final step: deciphering their escape code with the help of an alphabet grid.
This biotechnology escape activity is more than a review—it's an adrenaline-pumping journey that empowers students to apply their knowledge in a thrilling race against time. Unleash their inner biotechnologists and lead them to victory in this high-stakes adventure! Don't wait, for every second counts in this battle against Dr. Znorgberg!
This file includes a teacher key. Please remind your students that their codes will have to be in all capital letters without spaces, or else they won't be able to escape!
