1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.
Question | Answer |
| 1. Concentric Explain A city grows outward from a central area in a series of concentric rings, like the growth of a tree | Concentric Explain | 2. Sector Explain The city develops in a series of sectors, not rings. Certain areas of the city are more attractive for various activities, originally because of an environmental factor or even by mere chance | Sector Explain | 3. Multiple Nuclei Explain According to the multiple nuclei model, a city is a complex structure that includes more than one center around which activities revolve | Multiple Nuclei Explain | 4. Urban Realms Explain The model explains and predicts changing urban growth patterns as the automobile became increasingly prevalent and large suburban "realms" emerged. The suburban regions were functionally tied to a mixed-use suburban downtown, or mini-CBD, with relative independence from the original CBD | Urban Realms Explain | 5. SE Asia Explain High-class residential zones stem from the center, middle-class zones are in inner city areas and in suburbs, and low income zones are in the periphery | SE Asia Explain | 6. Latin America Explain The model contains elements of Latin American culture and imprints of colonization and globalization | Latin America Explain | 7. Sub-Saharan African Explain Ethnicities and types of CBDs change in rings/sectors as you travel further from the center, colonial CBD | Sub-Saharan African Explain | 8. Concentric Strengths Many cities developed in the 1920s, so this model reflects this time period | Concentric Strengths | 9. Sector Strengths Allows for an outward progression of growth in each of the sectors-Solved the problems with the model that Burgess created | Concentric Strengths | 10. Multiple Nuclei Strengths Takes into account the factors of decentralization in city structure-Provides a framework for understanding the distribution of social and economic groups | Multiple Nuclei Strengths | 11. Urban Realms Strengths Each realm has its own economic strength, so overall the metropolis can be an economic powerhouse and can become self-sufficient | Urban Realms Strengths | 12. SE Asia Strengths It is diverse due to the commercial zone | SE Asia Strengths | 13. Latin America Strengths Easy geometric pattern-Markets are closer to residential areas, less commuting | Latin America Strengths | 14. Sub-Saharan Africa Strengths Market zones are close to the neighborhoods | Sub-Saharan Africa Strengths | 15. Concentric Weaknesses The concentric zone model does not allow for change in the city and does not allow for physical geographic barriers. The rings do not consider environmental factors | Concentric Weaknesses | 16. Sector Weaknesses Based on central railroad transportation and not cars | Sector Weaknesses | 17. Multiple Nuclei Weaknesses No consideration of influence of physical relief and government policy-Does not completely explain why different types of people live in a specific area | Multiple Nuclei Weaknesses | 18. Urban Realms Weaknesses If the model fails, then the city displays a large amount of urban sprawl | Urban Realms Weaknesses | 19. SE Asia Weaknesses The market is far from the port | SE Asia Weaknesses | 20. Latin America Weaknesses With the poor on the outskirts of the zone they can easily become involved with crime | Latin America Weaknesses | 21. Sub-Saharan Weaknesses Squatter zones have started | Sub-Saharan Weaknesses | 22. Concentric Effectiveness The concentric zone model was based off of Chicago but it does not fit well with the modern day Chicago anymore | Concentric Effectiveness | 23. Sector Effectiveness This model was not based on central railroad transportation, not taking into account that most people would use cars in the future | Sector Effectiveness | 24. Urban Realms Effectiveness This model is automobile dependent, and it can accommodate a large and growing population | Urban Realms Effectiveness | 25. SE Asia Effectiveness Many of the medium sized cities in Southeast Asia have the strongest similarities to this model. Since these cities are developing rapidly, aspects of the city are subject to change | SE Asia Effectiveness |
