Stile’s Science Week Escape Room
Celebrate National Science Week with Stile’s hands-on immersive escape room!
As a customisable core curriculum, we provide all of the resources you need to deliver a complete science program. Each year, we release an exciting escape room to celebrate National Science Week. For 2024, we have an extra specie-al one for you!
Set in real-world scenarios, our escape rooms test your Year 7-10 students’ scientific knowledge. In just 45 minutes, your students will collaborate while solving hands-on challenges, find hidden codes and pop them into the interactive simulation in Stile! We provide accompanying teacher notes and printable cards.
Here’s what teachers have had to say about our escape rooms:
We ran the escape room as a lunchtime Science Week activity and the students had a blast!
You’re my hero! I get excited every year to see the fabulous escape rooms that Stile provides.
The escape room was a raging success and students had a fantastic time.
Escape room: Species Survival
This escape room matches the 2024 National Science Week theme of Species Survival — More than just sustainability.
The scenario
Set within a conservation park, wildlife conservation scientist Marie welcomes your students and explains the important work of scientists and conservationists around the world in protecting vulnerable species under threat of extinction. Suddenly, Marie is interrupted by the sound of an approaching stampede. Cheeky monkeys have gotten into the park’s fusebox, and shut down the electricity to the park gates. These vulnerable species are on the loose! It’s up to your students to solve the challenges and find the hidden codes to restore power to the gates!
Your students have 45 minutes to complete eight challenges on the issues threatening the survival of different animals and the innovative ways in which scientists are working to save these species from extinction.
Teacher support materials
With everything we create, we want to provide teachers with everything you need to deliver vibrant lessons, in one place.
Accompanying the Escape Room lesson is all of the information needed to run it including:
- A teacher guide detailing how to set up each activity
- Challenge cards
- Clue cards
- Team name banners highlighting a vulnerable Australian species
- Printable answer templates
- Model answer cards
Hands-on activities
We believe Stile is the perfect mix of print, practical and digital. We know the importance of hands-on activities, that’s why we have over a hundred hands-on pracs, engineering challenges and investigations throughout our collection.
If you’d like to run the escape room without students using their devices, teachers can project the simulation up the front of the class while students fill in the codes using pens or pencils on the printable answer templates.
