Revising for an assessment?

The tasks in these escape rooms are based on past exam questions so they are excellent revision aids!

“Our pupils have loved the chemistry escape rooms as a fun and different revision resource. They provide enough challenge to push them and also enrichment opportunities to show science in action”

Robbie Mitchell, Deputy Director of Science, Wellsway School

“It was quite difficult, but I actually really enjoyed it! I always like a competitive task.”
