Evolution Escape Room Game! Breakout Lesson, Great fun!

Darwin, his journey, evidence for evolution, cladograms--it's all in here. Use actual locks and boxes, OR use this fun lesson with a simple envelope system! Enough problems for 6 groups of students, or more if you use the problems in duplicate. I actually made different codes and problems for each group. With locks: utilizes 3, 3-digit locks, one MasterLock combination lock, four boxes, some paper, and a lot of fun!! I got the locks and toolboxes at Dollar Tree, or I also bought inexpensive unfinished wooden boxes. Your students will love it and want more. INCLUDES: 6 different codes to get your students started (hide in room somewhere) 6 different cladogram interpretation problem sets for box 2's combination. 6 different ciphers and comprehension/study questions for box 3's combination. 6 different map analysis problems for box 4's combination. 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? I will email you a MS publisher file after purchase of this pdf. Please email shancrafty@gmail.com with subject line GENETICS ESCAPE ROOM. Thanks! .
