Abstract

In this discussion, students made connections between their constructed physics knowledge and climate science data to arrive at a reasonable explanation for the formation of thermokarst. They work together to discover clues and solve a series of puzzles to complete a specific mission before time runs out.[12] As escape rooms and ISLE share many similarities, we combined the two to integrate climate change science into our physics classrooms. To engage our learners in these important global issues, we created an Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) approach[4] digital escape room game that transports students to a sinking remote Arctic research facility.
