NEXT STEPS

4. RESEARCH information/facts about your myth, including reliable statistics and/or first-hand experience from a knowledgeable person, to help bust or validate your myth.

(HINT: You can use something you have studied or are currently studying in a class to shorten your research time).

Review the information in Search Strategies to ensure your sources are reliable and accurate. Consider using websites with .org, .edu, or .gov (or from nationally recognized organizations such as National Geographic, NASA, etc.). Your goal will be to select five or more images related to your science topic/myth and five or more facts that help support or "bust" your myth.

A Digital Breakout may also be called a Digital Escape Room.

This is a web-based, game-like activity where students use clues to unlock a series of puzzles or activities to solve a challenge (or to escape a digital room).

Students frequently work together, (conference, or chat) as they work to locate and solve clues.

For additional help  to solve a breakout view this short video (3:44).
