Help your students learn science concepts using games and related activities. Concepts include the water cycle, renewable resources utilization and regulation, water pollution, and radiation.
Description:
Experience a variety of science games that can help students learn and internalize science concepts by doing rather than hearing. Hands on activities spur class discussion, especially when some competition is added to the mix. Talking about strategies that worked more effectively easily turns into discussions of real-world ideas and issues. Concepts explored and reinforced during these games include the water cycle, renewable resource utilization and regulations, water pollution investigations, radioactive decay and other concepts. The activities are designed for upper elementary classes through middle school and into introductory chemistry and biology classes.
Experience an educational Escape Room-style set of challenges based on academic content. Several options will be available for groups to play, based on different grade levels and subject areas.
Description:
Bring the engagement & excitement of escape rooms to the classroom. Escape boxes are a great way to review/ introduce concepts & skills while also working on cooperation, problem solving, and communication skills. Attendees will work together to solve the puzzles in an example escape box to get a true feel for how the process works with students. Escape boxes require specific supplies and thoughtful setup. Examples of a variety of ways to implement escape boxes will be used. Hands-on and virtual escape box options and resources for finding pre-made escape box will be discussed. Attendees will receive a coupon that may be redeemed to purchase a science-based escape room activity. Escape Boxes can be used effectively across a wide range of academic subjects and with almost any grade level. I have witnessed otherwise apathetic students enjoy learning by engaging with escape room puzzles.
