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

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

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. 1. Inheritance of Acquired traits is associated with whose theory of Evolution? Lamarck
2. 2. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is based on? Natural Selection
3. 3. Formation of a new species through evolution is called? Speciation
4. 4. What are some ways we can obtain variation in organisms? Mutations, Sexual Reproduction, Recombination/Meiosis
5. 5. Structures that are similar in shape but different functions are called: Homologous
6. 6. Structures that have decreased in size and have no function but had a function in ancestors are called? Vestigial
7. 7. What is another name for evolutionary tree and what does it show? Phylogenetic and Relationships between species
8. 8. Describe how Darwin’s Finches are an example of Geographic Isolation.While the different Finches all have different characteristics to help it survive on its own island, they all evolved from one common ancestor.
9. 9. What did the tools in the Beaks of Finches lab represent?different beaks
10. 10. What are the differences between gradualism and punctuated equilibrium?One is a rapid change due to a major environment change (punctuated equilibrium) the other is over time gradually and slowly (gradualism)
11. 11. Give a few examples of how Comparative embryology supports evolution (provide examples of structures).Gills, tails similar structures.
12. 12. Can theories be disproven? If so what disproves them and proves other theories?Yes evidence from experiments disproves theories and proves other theories
13. 13. How does natural selection work?organisms have variations or adaptations that are selected by the environment to be more successful and are those individuals are able to survive and reproduce and pass on those traits/variations/adaptations
14. 15. Stanley Millers experiment demonstrated what?Origin of life and development of organic compounds from inorganic materials.
15. 16. What is the name of the ship Darwin sailed on?HMS Beagle
16. 17. Define Overproduction.Producing more offspring than will likely survive
17. 18. Define competition.Two organisms fighting for the same resources
18. 19. Define adaptive radiation.Evolution of a multitude of species from one common ancestor
19. 20. Give an example of an organism with a short reproductive cycle.Insects and bacteria
20. 21. If a species is not suited to survive in their environment what will eventually happen?Become extinct
21. 22. Comparing the similarities in DNA and amino acid sequence is considered what type of comparative study.Biochemistry
22. 23. When would an organism have adaptive value?When it has variations that help it survive in a changing environment.
23. 24. A butterfly’s wing and a bird’s wing are examples of what type of structures?Analogous
