Example:
Correct answer = Graph B => Code = X4C9
How They "Escape":
• Students identify the correct graph and retrieve the code printed on it.
• Inputting this code unlocks the next puzzle or physical envelope.
Teacher Notes:
• You can use real SpikerBox graphs (pre-recorded) or simulated EMG waveforms created in software or even drawn.
• For differentiation, provide a Reflex Clues Reference Card that describes what to look for.
• If time permits, let students create one live graph as a bonus challenge.
Station 5: Breath of Clarity
Students attempt to mimic various respiration rates listed on a patient chart using a
respiration belt or by visual counting. One rate is physiologically unrealistic;
identifying this leads them to the correct patient ID, which is the next code.
Station 5: "Breath of Clarity" (Revised)
Tools Used:
• Respiration belt sensor (or visual observation)
• Stopwatch or timer
• Pre-made Patient Respiratory Chart (5–6 entries)
• Each entry has an ID number containing the escape code
Learning Focus:
• Interpreting respiration rate (RR) and its role in assessing health
• Exploring the physical feel of breathing at different rates
• Applying logic and bodily awareness to identify impossible clinical data
Scenario:
"One Breath Too Far..."
A series of patients logged in the respiratory ward have incomplete or suspicious chart entries.
You must test each patient's reported breathing rate by trying to match it yourself.
One patient's rate is physically implausible—identifying that flawed data will uncover your next escape code.
