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. What organelle of the cell that contains chromosomes?nucleus
2. What is the substance carrying an organisms genetic code?DNA
3. What is the name for chromosomes that contain different versions of the same genes?homologous
4. What is the name for a length of DNA that contains the code for a specific trait?gene
5. What do we call different versions of the same gene?allele
6. Draw and label a nucleotide....
7. What is the name for a genetically or environmentally determined characteristic?trait or phenotype
8. What is the name for cell used for sexual reproduction that carries a random selection of half of the organisms genetic information?gamete
9. During meiosis, chromosomes can randomly line up on either side of the equator of the cell to create different variations of chromosomes in the gamete. What is this process called?Independent assortment
10. During meiosis homologous pairs of chromosomes, swap alleles to create variation between the parents and offspring. What is this process called?Crossing over
11. What type of cell division creates clone cells for healing and repairmitosis
12. What type of cell division that creates cells with half the genetic information randomly shuffled?meiosis
13. What feature of a population allows it to adapt to changes in their environment?variation
14. Invasive species, drought, floods, pollution, decrease in available food, are all examples of what?Selection pressure
15. What are 2 key differences between the 2 types of cell division?Number of cell divisions/daughter cells, one creates variation, the other creates clones.
16. What biological catalysts are responsible for driving DNA replication?Enzymes
17. What do we call it when a newly replicated DNA strand contains half of an old strand of DNA? semi-conservative replication
18. What is the process that causes small changes in the allele frequency of a population? Natural or artificial selection
19. What is it called when changes in allele frequency build up over time and can result in a new species being formed?Evolution
