Escape the Petri Dish! (A Microscopes and Cells Escape Room Activity)
Embark on an Epic Microscopic Escape Adventure with Dr. Znorgberg!
Prepare for an electrifying journey as students find themselves miniaturized and trapped within a petri dish, courtesy of the diabolical Dr. Znorgberg and his nefarious Maniacal Microgenitor! To break free, they'll need to apply all the microscopes and cell organelle skills they've mastered in this chapter. The clock is ticking—Dr. Znorgberg is poised to switch to high power!
This microscopes and cells review activity isn't just challenging—it's a heart-pounding experience! Leveraging the excitement of the "escape the room" trend, this online escape promises an adventure like no other. All that's needed is the provided printout and some microscopes, and you're set for a mission that's both rigorous and exhilarating. Ideally placed at the conclusion of your microscopes and cells unit, this mission calls on students to apply their knowledge and skills in:
Navigating microscope parts and functions
Mastering Cell Theory principles
Identifying cell organelle names and functions
Understanding cell transport (diffusion, osmosis, and active transport)
Delving into photosynthesis and cellular respiration
The Pulse-Pounding Journey:
Station One: Students utilize their knowledge of microscope parts and functions to request a specific slide from their teacher. Placing it under the microscope, they unveil the "escape code" written on the slide. With the codes printed in microscopic font, students must rely on the microscope to read it!
Station Two: A hyperlink sends students on an exploration of the first 10 million digits of pi. Answering cell theory-related questions leads them to specific positions in pi containing their hidden escape code.
Station Three: Students undertake a challenge involving a "doodad factory" diagram and a plant cell diagram. Organelle names have been replaced with code digits. By matching doodad factory components to organelles, students unveil the escape code.
Station Four: Diagrams of solute and water molecules present a diffusion, osmosis, and active transport puzzle. By deciphering maritime flag codes on ships, students unlock the escape code.
Station Five: Chemical equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration hold the key. Students correlate molecule pictures to the letters and numbers in the equations. These molecule pictures contain code digits, leading to the ultimate escape!
This isn't just a lesson—it's a high octane adventure that will leave students on the edge of their seats! Will they outsmart Dr. Znorgberg and break free in time? Get ready for an unforgettable blend of excitement and education! Don't wait—embark on the microscopic escape now!
This file includes a teacher key, along with printouts of microscope slides as described in station one. 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!
