The Scientific Method#
Escape Room#
Welcome, Trainee, to your first test as a science detective.
You are locked inside the training room. Use your problem solving skills to investigate the environment, find clues, and discover how to escape. Your challenge is not only to escape, but also to become an exceptional observer.
Mystery Images Game#
Now that you are good at making observations, let’s solve another scientific mystery!
