WEATHER/METEOROLOGY Escape Room!

(0)
Students interpret weather data, answer questions about climate and weather, and open boxes to get more clues. Don't have boxes? That's ok! Create your own escape room experience with envelopes or pencil boxes. Have students decipher and answer riddles about weather. Students demonstrate their meteorology knowledge AND have a blast! Setup for 6 different groups, six different codes. You can adapt it to fit an envelope system OR a 3 digit resettable lock and master locks. I bought mine (not resettable) at Dollar Tree, combos are on the outside of the package, so that is an option too! Use this as inspiration for even more Escape Room Lessons! INCLUDES: 6 different sets of general climate/weather question sets to open box 2 6 different sets of weather analysis questions to open box 3 6 encrypted riddles that students decipher and answer to get the ticket for the next code 6 tickets to give students the code for the last locks TWO DIFFERENT (1 min or 2 min) Speed Bump Cards (color-coded) for each group. (So fun to throw a team out for a minute or two--also color-coded) Hint Tickets/Cards for all 3 boxes, color-coded so you can keep track of whom you have given hints to Need an editable version to customize it to your locks?

Five formative assessments/openers about light. Two are vocabulary matching, one is putting the visible light spectrum in order, one is naming what color is reflected when you see an object, and the other is identifying pictures as reflection or refraction.
Acceleration Determination

Acceleration Determination

(0)
Students complete a 20 meter run and use the data to calculate their velocity and then they calculate their acceleration. Students use the data to graph their results. Great lab--only requires a stopwatch (or digital timer), graph paper, a meter stick to measure out your "track," and tape to mark the 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 meter marks.

Law of Conservation of Mass with LEGOS! (Lab Activity)

(0)
A great lab for demonstrating the law of conservation of matter. Students use Lego blocks (or you can substitute gummy bears or some other manipulative) to build chemical equations. Students take the mass of the parts of the equations and then see how the mass is unchanged in the reactants and products. This version has two versions: one with pre-filled colors, and the other with the colors left blank so you can adapt it to fit with the Legos you already have. The second part of the lab includes alka-seltzer, water and ziploc baggies. Students see how mass is unchanged in a closed system.
