Atoms - Science Escape Room

The Atoms Escape Room is an immersive experience for your students. It allows them to demonstrate their knowledge of atoms in a fun and engaging way.

Student Background:

Students will need to be familiar with protons, neutrons, and electrons. They will need to know their location and charge and be able to identify valence electrons on a Bohr model or an element symbol.

A Unique Escape Room Experience:

Unlike many escape rooms, the teacher is in total control of which of the 8 puzzles they want to use and in which order to use them. Each puzzle is independent of the others. This is great for shorter or longer class periods.

Your students will be talking about this one for weeks!
