Abstract
We present the development and evaluation of “da Vinci’s Curse”, a chemistry escape room experience designed to consolidate laboratory skills in a fun and interactive setting. Inspired by the maestro, Leonardo da Vinci, the escape room challenges students to complete a series of puzzles in teams to escape “da Vinci’s Curse”. Guided in their journey by instructional riddles from da Vinci himself, these puzzles focus on practical laboratory techniques including liquid–liquid extraction, acid–base behavior of functional groups, infrared spectroscopy, and thin-layer chromatography. Evaluation of the effectiveness of “da Vinci’s Curse” by a Likert methodology found that student confidence in a range of key laboratory, transferable, and employability skills increased significantly and that students enjoyed the experience of working with others in the laboratory.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
