Directions: The following problems are hypothetical situations that you and your team may
come across while attempting to escape the room during the event. Solve in groups of 2 or 3.
DIRECTORS/VOLUNTEERS: DO NOT GIVE STUDENTS THE NEXT PAGE UNTIL THEY
HAVE SOLVED THE PREVIOUS ONE.
Questions Set 1
Ex.
Once you have completed the puzzle, you should have a certain number of pieces left.
Remember that number. You will need it. Ask a volunteer for the next page.
2. The symbol of the element you created in the previous problem is also an indicator/sign that
will lead to your next puzzle. One of the books below has this symbol on the top right corner of
its cover. Do you see it?
You will now open that book to a certain page. The page number is the sum of the number of
remaining pieces from the first puzzle and the number of structures from the list below that are
in plant cells, but not animal cells.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Cell Wall
- Cell Membrane
- Nucleus
- Ribosomes
- Chloroplast
- Lysosome
___________ is our genetic material. We get it from our parents and pass it down to our kids.
Remember your answer.
Pretend the lock is a magical lock. Every combination/code opens the cabinet door, but only one
combination will lead to the right set of keys. Choose the correct combination.
You and your team are now left with two keys to choose from.
“Anaerobic respiration does not involve this element. Pick the key labeled with this element.”
Check with a volunteer to see if you and your group found the right key.
Solution to #1-3:
Questions Set 2
1. In front of your team is a section of DNA with only 1 side labeled. Fill in each box with its
missing nucleotide base pair.
Place the beaker back on the scale and record the weight. Round to the nearest tens
digit (ie 45.59 grams will round to 50 grams but 32.89 grams will round to 30 grams).
Walk over to the periodic table and locate the element with this atomic number (ie atomic
number is 50). Now, answer the following question about this element:
How many neutrons does this element have?
Using your answer, look around the room for a drawer labeled with the number of
neutrons you found earlier. Inside the drawer will be a key. Present the key to a
volunteer and you’ve escaped!
a.
b. What nucleotide base is present in RNA but not DNA?
i. Uracil = U
#2-2: a. “Valence electrons are the electrons on the outermost orbital of an atom.”
