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.

The force that pulls objects toward the center of the earth | gravity | 5. The outline or form of an object | shape | 6. A force that slows or stops motion | friction | 7. Where an object is located | position | 8. The property of an object that resists movement by force | inertia | 9. Energy in motion | kinetic energy | 10. A push or pull is measured in | newton's | 11. Stored energy is | potential energy | 12. In a magnet, opposite poles | attract | 13. A tool that measures the Earth's gravitational pull on an object | spring scale | 14. In a magnet, like poles | repel | 15. Carpet has___________than a smooth glass surface | more friction | 16. A bulldozer moving dirt is an example of a | push | 17. Brushing your hair is an example of a | push | 18. If 3 newton's of force is pulling on 3 newton's of force | the is no movement | 19. By placing a marble at different heights on a ramp a student can measure | how distance affects force | 20. When a picnic table cloth is pulled quickly and dishes remain in place it is because of | inertia | 21. A variable is | something that changes in an investigation | 22. A newton is a measurement of force | true | 23. To test friction on the same object | different surfaces are needed | 24. Which two tools can measure the mass of an object and the distance traveled | balance and meter stick | 25. Friction can slow the motion of an object | true | 26.
