What will students learn with this classroom escape room?
Using these escape room activities, students will review important concepts about light. Topics covered:
- visible light is radiant energy that moves in transverse waves
- the visible spectrum includes light with different wavelengths
- matter influences the path of light
- radiant energy can be transformed into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energy
What escape room activities are included?
When completing the activities, students will use critical thinking and inference skills. Challenges include activities such as:
- identifying true statements about light
- solving math problems to create a code
- decoding information to label a model of a light wave

What standards are covered?
This Light Escape Room is specifically aligned with the 2018 Virginia SOL 5.6 but also covers most standards related to light.
This resource has been updated to align with the 2018 Science SOLs AND the 2025 Science Instructional Guides.

The kids love the escape rooms especially when they work in teams. They are learning and having fun at the same time. Great to use as a review at the end of a unit.
