Description
In this Constitution and Declaration of Independence Escape Room activity, students are introduced to the secret cipher code developed by Dr. Benjamin Church to communicate secretly with the British during the American Revolution. Enjoy cracking this historical cipher!
This version is designed for the traditional classroom. You can find the version that is optimized for the digital, distance learning classroom here.
Students are placed in the shoes of investigators on the trail of the "American Illuminati" who have recently raided the National Archives and taken possession of the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation. Student investigative teams have one class period to solve four clues related to each of the documents, then complete the final formula to crack the code. All four documents are set to be destroyed unless teams can solve the code before time expires. Do you have what it takes to save our history?
Students use Dr. Benjamin Church's cipher to translate four secret clues, conduct research or use background knowledge, solve basic math problems (based on the clues), and use the clue answers to calculate the final code that will save our nation's founding documents! A modified final code is included to make it a touch easier for lower classes. A 60-minute timer is also included to display as student teams try to break the code!
★ Guaranteed to excite and engage your classroom. Great for an end of the year, team-building, or skill-building assignment!
Don't have a box or a lock? No worries -- simple workaround ideas are included that keep students focused!
