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 produced in Cellular Respiration? | ATP, CO2 and H2O | 2. What is produced in Photosynthesis? | Glucose and Oxygen | 3. ATP is | Cellular Energy | 4. What controls which molecule can move through the cell membrane? | Size | 5. Organelles are | tiny organs inside of cells | 6. Organisms are | a single member of a species | 7. Active transport is | the movement of molecules using energy | 8. The job of ribosomes is to | make proteins | 9. The job of the mitochondria is to | Make energy through cellular respiration | 10. The job of the chloroplast is to | do photosynthesis and make glucose | 11. The main role of carbohydrates is | the main source of energy for living things | 12. The main role of lipids is | energy storage | 13. Starch indicator used in our experiments that turns black/purple when starch is around | iodine | 14. Glucose indicator that turned orange/pink when heated with glucose | Benedict's Solution | 15. If too much water enters and animal cell through osmosis the cell may | burst | 16. The movement of molecules without energy is called | diffusion | 17. Cell membranes allow some molecules to enter but not others, this is called being | selectively permeable | 18. Organelles: cell wall, chloroplasts, and large vacuoles are present in only | plant cells | 19. This organelle can make food for single celled organisms and multicellular autotrophs | chloroplasts | 20. These structures helps leaves maintain homeostasis by regulating water loss and gas exchange | stomata and guard cells | 21. The endoplasmic reticulum allows for | movement of materials through the cytoplasm of cells | 22. Organic compounds must contain | hydrogen and carbon | 23. Proteins, Carbohydrates, DNA, and Fats are all examples of | organic compounds | 24. Proteins that speed the rate of chemical reactions | Enzymes | 25. The variable in an experiment that you change | Independent Variable | 26. The variable in an experiment that you measure | Dependent Variable | 27. The variable that need to be kept the same throughout an experiment | Controlled variables |
