The mission...
Your class is on a field trip to a geological excavation site where they are looking for fossils from the past. All of a sudden, the ladder fell, and a fossil of a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil sprang out of the ground above the class. He said, “It’s up to you to show your knowledge of what happened before, so answer the following questions to unlock the 5 locks and I will allow you to escape up the ladder.”

Stop the boring worksheets! Play an escape room to promote positive collaboration and critical thinking! Take your classroom to the next level.
