Heat Transfer Escape Room

Convection/Conduction/Radiation
Science Escape
YOUR CHALLENGE:
A local science museum is holding a contest to see who can

create the best S’more in a handmade solar oven. The
contest is one week away and the deadline for all entry
forms is today! Your teacher has agreed to let you enter the
contest but she will give you the entry form only IF you can
demonstrate your knowledge of heat transfer. Can you and
your teammates work together to earn the right to build a
solar cooker and enjoy a day of eating S’mores? Do you
“radiate” confidence in your knowledge of heat transfer? Put
your skills to the test and solve the clues. . . You’ve only got
until the bell rings!
