Meiosis Digital Escape Room / Breakout Activity

This is a fully functional, completely digital escape room. This escape room activity deals with processes and information on meiosis and chromosomes. Also included is a printable version of the activity to be used by students who do not have access to an internet ready computer or device. This activity works great as a review assignment or as an enrichment activity for students.

Included in this activity are three fully viable options for using the assignment in your classroom: a printable version that can be handed out to each student, a web site version that can be accessed from any internet capable device, and a Microsoft OneNote version that can be used by students who have access to this Microsoft app. Also included are instructions for using each of the different versions of the escape room.

Simply download the .zip file, extract the three documents, and you are ready to go.

Once you begin using digital escape rooms, you will find that they are an exciting new way to provide instruction for your students. Students are challenged, while having fun and learning at the same time.

This digital escape activity will challenge your students' problem solving and critical thinking skills while at the same time strengthening their understanding of the basics of meiosis, haploid and diploid chromosome numbers, and other aspects of gamete creation. Students will be "playing a game" while learning. Students must read for context, answer questions, and use logic to move through the stages of this activity. When used as a small group activity, this notebook can be used to provide for collaborative learning in a competitive environment. Questions in the activity may require students to remember or discover facts and interpret information to find passwords.

This activity will, on average, require somewhere between 35 to 45 minutes to complete.
