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. A biological area that focuses upon the role of DNA on our behaviour Genetics
2. Contains the brain, spinal cord and neurons between our muscles and vital organsNervous system
3. An example of a mood disorder caused by variations in neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamineBipolar
4. This organ is divided into 4 major lobes (frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital) which have been said to control a person’s behaviourBrain
5. Chemicals within the body that control cells or organs and have been found to affect behaviourHormones
6. A psychologist who investigated the role of hormones on aggressive behaviourDabbs
7. A criticism of the biological approach is that it ignores these types of factors Environmental
8. The scientist who developed the theory of evolution which psychologists have used as a counterargument to criticisms of their use of animals in studies Darwin
9. A hormone that Dabbs found has been linked to aggression Testosterone
10. The sample used in many biological experiments Animals
11. A research method which is based upon one individual and enables us to investigate naturally occurring events Case study
12. A real world application of the biological approach that links the chromosomes XY and XX to our behaviour Gender
13. A criticism of the biological approach as it focuses purely upon genetics, brain structure and hormones Deterministic
14. The type of variables that are controlled in an experimental method Extraneous
15. A criticism of the experimental method is that it is low in this Ecological validity
16. The biological approach is this in the nature-nurture debate Nature
17. The sample used in Dabbs’ study Prisoners
18. The use of animals in studies helps us to overcome these types of issues Ethical
19. A real world application of the biological approach as used in treatments for phobias, OCD, schizophrenia and depression Drug therapy
20. A strength of the experimental method meaning that it is a scientific, carefully controlled method Objective
21. A type of research method used by the biological approach for investigating the role of genetics on behaviour Twin studies
22. An advantage of the experimental method as it finds a clear link between the independent variable and the dependent variable Cause and effect
23. A psychological term meaning that factors such as behaviour are broken down into their smallest components, in the biological case, to the cell level Reductionist
24. The results of a case study cannot be said to do this due to their very small sample sizes Generalise
25. The results of Dabbs’ study have been criticised as it is unknown whether high testosterone causes aggression or being aggressive causes testosterone levels to increase. The results are therefore said to be this Correlational
