Regents Review with Locked Boxes

As we were reviewing for the Living Environment Regents exam at the end of the year in Analytical Biology, I was trying to keep it interesting. To help students review the concepts behind the four required labs for the exam, I decided to put together a Breakout that required students to recall these lab ideas.


There were diagrams to reference around the room, a directional maze, a story involving colors of indicators, a cladogram to interpret, and diagrams of the beaks of finches.

This gave students a fun way to be reminded of these key labs that we had done through the lab, with a little fun competition thrown in. The competition was primarily against the clock, but since they were divided into three teams, they were also hoping to be the first team to break their reward out.

Here's the link to all of the files for the breakout:
