    You are called to follow the attached link, so as to take part to a two missions escape room. Please click on the speaker so as to don't lost instructions and miss tasks. There are also included some resources that you have to read or watch in order to respond correctly to the quizzes and finally achieve your badge. You are encouraged to take a look on all extra activities presented there so as to have an idea of our next lesson.

    Hope that you have enjoyed this escape room. It's time to be divided in teams of 5 and take part to the attached "Greenhouse in a jar" experiment. Before start experimenting make an hypothesis on what will happen. Write this at the end of the worksheet. Please keeps notes so as to be able to better describe your observations in a padlet.

    Which are your observations? Was your hypothesis correct? Can you describe how a greenhouse works? Let's imagine that this jar is our Earth. Recall all the knowledge through escape room that you have played and those observation. Can you describe the greenhouse effect?

    In teams of 5 you are called to experience how the given changes in the parameters on the simulations, you have already practiced on your own, will affect the Earth temperature.

    Students are going to make discussion in a padlet. Questions: Which are the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? How the added or removed CO2 affects the Earth temperature? How all this affect us and the environment? Can we reduce it? If yes, how?
Notes:
The simulations that they practice in the class are the same with those they experienced individually, but this time you give them which parameters to use.

    You are encouraged to look carefully at your peers' posters or infographics and evaluate those giving a constructive feedback. Please follow the details of the rubric designed.
Notes:
Besides these, evaluation will be conducted via the quizzes included to the escape room, observation data that will be collected during the collaborative work, and the rubric (self-evaluation). Students will also evaluate the learning scenario.
