In this Electricity Escape Room students find themselves trapped! The only way to escape is for students to successfully complete six challenges that require them to use critical thinking skills as they review science concepts.

To take a closer look at the escape room activities included, check out the preview!

What will students learn with this classroom escape room?

Using these escape room activities, students will review important concepts about electricity. Topics covered:

• conductors and insulators
• open circuits and closed circuits
• static electricity
• electrical energy can be transformed into radiant, mechanical, and thermal energy
• currents flowing through a wire create a magnetic current

What escape room activities are included?

When completing the activities, students will use critical thinking and inference skills. Challenges include activities such as:

• decoding terms related to electricity
• identifying examples of conductors and insulators and creating a code
• reading a passage and decoding information about electrical energy transformations
• identifying examples of open circuits and closed circuits and creating a code
• decoding information about electromagnets
• identifying true statements about circuits and electricity
• solving math problems to create a code

Is a digital version included?

This resource includes two versions of the escape room. The first version is a PDF escape room that can be completed in a classroom.

The second version is a digital escape room that can be completed in Google Forms. The digital escape room is self-checking so that students can review the answers to their work even when learning remotely.

What standards are covered?

This Electricity Escape Room is specifically aligned with the 2018 Virginia SOL 5.4 but also covers most standards related to circuits and electricity.
