Grade 5 Breakout EDU

Is Your Teacher an Alien?

It is an age-old question and Mrs. Bouffard's grade 5 science classes attempted to find out the truth once and for all.

Students got to use their collaboration skills and their knowledge about the solar system when they were faced with this Breakout EDU challenge. They were challenged to use clues, critical thinking, common sense and collaboration to solve puzzles and open a variety of locks on the BreakoutEDU boxes. The theme was solar system and the answer to question "Is your teacher an alien?" was locked inside the box.  Be sure to ask your fifth grader if they got to the bottom of this challenge.
