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.

One of their son’s got married, what was his wife’s genotype? | Aa Heterozygous normal | 10. What is the grandchild’s phenotype? | albino | 11. What is the genotype of the father? | aa Homozygous Recessive blue eyes | 12. What is the genotype of the mother? | Aa Heterozygous normal brown | 13. What is the sex, genotype, and phenotype of their last child? | Female, heterozygous, and normal | 14. What is the genotype and phenotype of the male in the second marriage? | Heterozygous and Normal | 15. What is the genotype of their last grandchild? | Homozygous recessive | 16. Punnett Square 1 What are the genotypes of the parents? | Heterozygous and Homozygous recessive | 17. Punnett Square 2 What are the genotypes of the parents? | Heterozygous and Homozygous recessive | 18. Punnett Square 3 What are the genotypes of the offspring? | Ff | 19. Punnett Square 4 For a certain breed of chickens, having light colored feathers is dominant to dark colored feathers. What are the parent’s genotypes? | Homozygous recessive and Heterozygous | 20. Punnett Square 4 For a certain breed of chickens, having light colored feathers is dominant to dark colored feathers. What are the parent’s phenotypes? | Light and dark | 21. Punnett Square 5 For a certain breed of chickens, having light colored feathers is dominant to dark colored feathers. What are the parent’s genotypes? | Heterozygous | 22. Punnett Square 5 For a certain breed of chickens, having light colored feathers is dominant to dark colored feathers. What are the parent’s phenotypes? | Light feathered | 23. In dragons, the allele for fire breathing is dominant (F). Dragons can be fire breathers, or non fire breathers. Show the genotypes and phenotypes of all possible dragons. | FF Fire breather, Ff Fire breather, ff non fire breather | 24. If a heterozygous (Ff) fire-breathing dragon is crossed with one that does not breathe fire (ff), how many offspring will be fire breathers? | 50% | 25. Also in dragons, wings are a dominant trait (W). If you crossed two wingless dragons, how many of their offspring would you expect to have wings? | Zero | 26. Wings are dominant to wingless. Two winged dragons produce an offspring that does not have wings. What are the genotypes of the parents? | Heterozygous |
