Calling all young designers and engineers! Today, we're embarking on a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) adventure to create and explore the energetic world of cars!

What's Included?

1. **Design Your Dream Car (Art & Design)
   **Print out the provided car template, cut out the pieces, fold them along the designated lines, and assemble your 3D car model using glue. You can even decorate it with your favorite colors and details!
   Draw & design a one-of-a-kind car [or design the 3D one] showcasing its unique features and design.

   For example:
   Chemical Energy: Where does the energy come from that fuels the car? Is it gasoline, electricity, or something else?
   Kinetic Energy: Once the car starts moving, what kind of energy does it possess?
   Other Forms of Energy: Are there any other types of energy at play in a car's operation (e.g., sound energy, thermal energy)
3. **Narrative Time (English)
   **Let them imagine themselves taking a fantastic ride in their dream car! It's time to write a short story or narrative describing their exciting journey.

A Frida Kahlo Escape Room activity. Ideal for fifth grade or sixth grade, the activity is perfect for group work, starting a new art topic, team-building activities or for a fun, engaging and interactive lesson. The activity can be used in English class as it incorporates some ELA skills, in Art or in Social Studies.

The activity has been split into four different tasks; your students will need to complete each of the tasks to reveal a word. Together the four words make a phrase for them to escape the room.

Included in this resource:

• Student guidelines for completing the tasks meaning no teacher prep
• A student answer key to complete as they work through the tasks
• An informational text or reading comprehension passage
• A true or false fact sheet & maze
• A crossword puzzle
• A timeline activity & answer key
• A wordsearch puzzle
• Teacher answer sheets for each task

⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻

In Task 1 students will read an informational text about Frida Kahlo and then find their way through a maze by answering true or false comprehension questions. If they answer the questions correctly they will reveal their first word.

In Task 2 students will use the same informational text to complete a crossword puzzle. Within the puzzle there are several hidden letters which will need to be unscrambled on the completion of the puzzle to reveal the second word.

In Task 3 students will have to cut out 27 task cards about famous artists before putting them in order from the earliest born to the most recently born. When they have finished their task they can glue them onto the answer key which will reveal their third word.

In Task 4 students will have to find the missing words in a wordsearch puzzle before finding a hidden word from the letters that are left over in the puzzle. This hidden word is their fourth and final word.

Students can then complete their student answer key with the four words they revealed before checking with the teacher to see if they have escaped successfully.

1. Two empty toilet paper rolls
2. Template
3. Glue or tape

On one end of each toilet paper roll, make a small hole using a hole punch or by carefully poking it with scissors. Make sure the holes are aligned.

This theme not only adds a fun and educational element to the craft but also instills a sense of environmental awareness.
