Magnetic And Non Magnetic Laboratory Escape Room — Interactive Lesson (Year 3–7)

Escape the lab by sorting materials correctly! Students work through 3 rooms, each with a set of everyday materials to sort into magnetic and non-magnetic, unlocking the next room as they go — making magnetic-materials revision engaging for KS2 students.

Whats inside

• 3-level drag-and-sort escape room challenge
• Room 1: everyday materials (nail, wood, paper clip, plastic, glass)
• Room 2: tricky metals — not all metals are magnetic (steel, aluminium, copper, iron)
• Room 3: alloys and composites (nickel, cobalt, brass, titanium, magnetite)
• Instant feedback and a progress bar through each room

Why it works

• Curriculum-linked to KS2 Physics — magnetic and non-magnetic materials
• Escape-room format motivates even reluctant learners
• Zero prep — open and play, fully self-contained

Designed for ages 7–12 (UK Year 3–7). Aligned to the UK National Curriculum for Science; adaptable to US state standards.
