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. Dendrite - impulses are conducted toward the cell body | 2. Cell Body - contains a nucleus and cytoplasm, receives impulses from dendrite | 3. End Branch - release neurotransmitters (nervous signals) | 4. Sensory Neuron - send information from sensory receptors (e.g., in skin, eyes, nose, tongue, ears) TOWARD the central nervous system | 5. Inter-neuron -sends information between sensory neurons and motor neurons. Most inter-neurons are located in the central nervous system | 6. Motor neuron - send information AWAY from the central nervous system to muscles or glands | 7. Synapse - gaps between two neurons where a nerve signal from one neuron travels towards the next neuron. The synapse is the location where communication between cells occurs | 8. The central nervous system (CNS) is the processing center for the nervous system. It receives information from and sends information to the peripheral nervous system. The two main organs of the CNS are the brain and spinal cord. The brain processes and interprets sensory information sent from the spinal cord. | 9. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) connects the Central Nervous System to the organs of the body. It consists of a network of nerves that branch from the CNS. | 10. Cerebrum – the largest part of the brain. Responsible for voluntary actions, thinking, judgment, attitude, personality, emotions, and attitude | 11. Cerebellum – second largest part of the brain. Responsible for balance and muscle coordination | 12. Medulla – connects the brain to the spinal cord, responsible for involuntary actions | 13. Spinal Cord - Lies within, and is protected by, the vertebrae of the spinal column. Coordinates activities between the brain and other body structures. Center for reflex actions, does not require activity of the brain. Reflexes are involuntary, inborn patterns of behavior. The brain becomes aware of action after a reflex occurs | 14. Polio – Poliomyelitis is a viral disease that can affect nerves and can lead to partial or full paralysis. Preventable through immunizations | 15. Cerebral Palsy - Group of congenital diseases characterized by a disturbance of motor functions. Speech and muscle actions are distorted; however intelligence of a person with CP falls within normal range | 16. Meningitis - Inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungus | 17. Stroke - Caused by blood clot or cerebral hemorrhage (burst blood vessel); leads to lack of oxygen to brain tissue which may result in brain damage | 18. Spinal Injuries -Occurs when an injury or disease disrupts the vertebrae column, causing damage to the spinal cord. Can lead to partial or full paralysis | 19. Alzheimer’s - Atrophy (loss of function) of tissue within the brain. This damage causes disruption of impulses amongst brain cells |
