| Trying to find their way... Connected and Curious 7th-grade scientist working together to find their way out of an ecological escape room.
Ecology Escape Room:
In order to "escape", students had to use their knowledge of ecology to solve clues and retrieve the completion codes to break out of each level. Once all levels were complete, they had to solve a puzzle to retrieve the completion code to "break out" and save the class from the mad scientist who trapped the students in the classroom!
