Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

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

Download a QR reader (e.g. I-Nigma | NeoReader | Kaywa ) onto their mobile devices
Bring these devices into the lesson.

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

B. The lesson:

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!

C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question	Answer
1. what is the difference between weather and climate?	weather is the atmospheric conditions in a small area over a short space of time. Climate refers to the pattern of weather over a larger area and longer time period (e.g. a year)
2.
3. What instrument is used to measure air pressure?	barometer
4.
5. Name the three types of rainfall.	convectional, frontal, relief
6.
7. What is transpiration?	evaporation from trees and vegetation.
8.
9. Name three factors which affect temperatures in the British Isles?	latitude, altitude, direction of prevailing wind, distance from the coast, ocean currents
10.
11. Name the four types of erosion.	abrasion, plucking, attrition, hydraulic action
12.
13. Name the four types of weathering.	biological, chemical, freeze-thaw, onion skin
14.
15. Name the four ways in which rivers transport material.	traction, saltation, flotation and suspension, solution
16.
17. Which type of river transportation involves a chemical change?	solution
18.
19. On which side of a meander is there greater erosion?	the outside of the bend
20.
21. What process causes the slip-off slope to form on the inside of a river bend?	deposition
22.
23. Name a flood you have studied.	Boscastle
24.
25.
26. Name one coastal landform formed by deposition.	beach, spit
27.
28. What is swash?	Waves hitting the shore
29.
30. Name the four layers of the Earth.	inner core, outer core, mantle, crust
31.
32. Name the two types of tectonic plate.	continental, oceanic
33.
34. Name the four types of plate boundaries.	destructive, constructive, collision, conservative
35.
36. What is an earthquake?	when tectonic plates move, there is great friction, This causes pressure to build up in the earth's crust. This pressure will be released suddenly in seismic waves, which cause the earth to shake or even split open.
37.
38. Describe two outcomes of the Etna eruption.	transport disruption-airport closed, roads blocked. Businesses disrupted- ski lifts and vineyards disrupted. Scientific research station damaged. Cost of clean-up operation. Improved soil quality due to fertilising properties of ash. Eventually, a boost to tourism as Etna put 'on map'
