FLEX Escape Rooms: Interactive Exploration of FOUR World Wonders

Learners will explore one of four world wonders in each session.  

They will learn the basic answer to who, what, where, when, why, and how regarding each famous landmark. To make it a fun learning experience, it is structured as an escape room where students solve riddles, answer questions, put things in order, etc in order with interactive, digital material to understand each place and collect letters or numbers to unlock the final puzzle. 

The engaging, game-like structure helps students learn facts in an interactive way.  To check what they learned at the end of class, they will spin a wheel and randomly answer who, what, where, when, why, and how questions about the place being studied in a google form that they submit. 

Depending on the student's choice, they can try to beat the clock and finish the escape room in the allowed time, or turn the clock off and do the tasks at their own pace.  There will be a presentation slide show that students will go through to read the adventure, solve the problems, and record their clues.  Students can ask questions in the Outschool classroom at any time to get help or hints.

If students complete all tasks, they will receive a certificate of completion!
