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.

| 1. 1.) What is the specific heat of a substance that absorbs 2.5 x 103 J of heat when a sample of 1.0 x 104 g of the substance increases in temperature from 10.0 ºC to 70.0 ºC? | 2. 2.) What is the specific heat of a 38.2 g sample of metal that absorbs 125 J when its temperature rises from 62.1 ºC to 68.4 ºC? | 3. 3.) How much energy is released when 125 g of water cools from 45.0 to 72.0 ºC? | 4. 4.) Calculate the specific heat capacity of a substance given that 375 J of energy raises the temperature of 15g of the substance from 25.0 ºC to 32.0 ºC. | 5. 5a.)
