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 is an electron transport chain? | A series of proteins in the membrane of the thylakoid that pass electrons to either add energy to the electron or take energy away from the electron. | 2. The name for stacks of coin-shaped membrane-enclosed compartments is... | Grana | 3. What is glycolysis? | It splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP | 4. What does lactic acid do? | causes muscles to "burn" during hard exercise | 5. The process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules is called... | chemosynthesis | 6. Light independent reactions use energy from_______to make sugars | the light-dependent reactions. | 7. What kind of process if fermentation? | Anaerobic process | 8. Does Fermentation make ATP? | No | 9. What does Fermentation allow for? | Glycolysis to continue. | 10. The enzyme that catalyzes the reaction that adds a high-energy phosphate to ADT to form ATP is called, what? | ATP Synthase | 11. This takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria and produces molecules that carry energy to the second part of the cellular respiration is called, what? | The Krebs Cycle | 12. ATP is...? | A molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes. | 13. The Calvin Cycle cannot take place without these. | ATP, CO2 or NADPH. | 14. This is an example of an aerobic process | Cellular respiration, and the Krebs cycle. | 15. An aerobic process is one which needs what in order to take place? | Oxygen | 16. The process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy. | Photosynthesis. | 17. Simple sugars are made when the chemical reactions of the ____ ____ use carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and the energy carried by ATP and NADHP | Calvin Cycle. | 18. Series of light absorbing pigments and proteins that capture and transfer energy in the thylakoid membrane are called? | Photosystems. | 19. What is ADP? | Low energy molecule that can be converted to ATP. | 20. ____ releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present. | Cellular Respiration. | 21. A process that does not need oxygen to take place, such as Glycolysis, is a ___ process. | Anaerobic process. |
