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. How can you tell the difference between a cube and a rectangular prism? | A cube has squares faces and a rectangular prism has rectangles and can have some squares for faces. | 2. How many faces does a sphere have? | zero | 3. What three dimensional shape can you place below a sphere to create a composite shape? | A rectangular prism or a cube | 4. Can you place a cube on top of a cone to create a composite shape? | No because the cone has a vertex on it tip and you cannot balance a sphere on that. | 5. If you built a three dimensional composite shape, what shapes could you use? | A rectangular prism, a cylinder, cone, sphere or cube. |
