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. What are the small particles called that make up matter? A. Charges B. Electrons C. Atoms D. Protons | C | 2. What are the particles inside an atom? A: nucleus and nucleoid, B: nucleolus and nucleus, C: protons, neutrons and electrons, D: all of the above | C | 3. What charge do neutrons have? A. positive, B, negative, C. no charge | C | 4. What charge do protons have? A. positive, B, negative, C. no charge | A | 5. What charge do electrons have? A. positive, B, negative, C. no charge | B | 6. To understand static electricity, we need to understand that atoms are the: A) smallest possible unit of a material. B) largest possible unit of a material. C) basic building blocks of materials in our world. D) A and C both. | D | 7. What are the 2 types of electric charges? A: positive and negative, B: strong and weak, C: static and electrical, D: convectional and conductional | A | 8. Do like charges attract or repel? | repel | 9. Do unlike charges attract or repel? | attract | 10. One of the easiest ways to move electrons from one material to another is by rubbing them together. This rubbing creates an electron transfer from one material to another. Say you rub a balloon against a wall. The end result is that the balloon has a net negative charge, while the wall has a net positive charge because it lost __________ to the balloon. A: protons, B: neutrons, C: electrons, D: nuclei | C | 11. Materials that allow electrons to move easily through and around them are called. A: conductors, B: insulators, C: semiconductors, D: capacitors | A | 12. Materials that hold electrons very tightly, and thus don't allow much static electricity to occur around them, are called. A: conductors, B: insulators, C: semiconductors, D: capacitors | B | 13. Lightning is produced by: A: Friction, B: Static electricity, C: The movement of electrons from one material to another, D: all of the above | D | 14. How can you produce static electricity? A:flying an aeroplane B: rubbing two material together C: rubbing two conductors together D: all of the above E: A and B | D | 15. The method of charging happens when you rub a balloon on your hair is: A. Friction B. Resistance C. Electric Force D. Static Electricity | A | 16. Which of these is an example of static electricity. A: flying a plane in the sky, B: lightning, C: Walking across a carpet and zapping the person next to you, D: all of the above, E: A and C | D | 17. A good conductor would be: A: wood, B: glass, C: metal, D: rubber | C | 18. A good insulator would be: A: wood, B: glass, C:rubber, D: all of the above | D | 19. Which of the following are true: 1. Opposite charges repel, 2. Opposite charges attract, 3. A positively charged object has lost electrons, 4. A positively charged object has gained protons, 5. A negatively charged object has lost protons, 6. A negatively charged object has gained electrons. Answer - A: 1, B: 1, 3, 5, C: 1, 4, 6, D: 1, 6 | B |
