QR Challenge: Constructive and Destructive Forces Inside the Earth

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

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 are the four layers of the earthcrust, mantel, inner core, outer core
2. What are two types of crust on the earthoceanic crust and continental crust
3. What "puzzle pieces" make up the earth's crusttectonic plates
4. Where do tectonic plates meetfaults
5. Describe convergent boundries plates collide, mountains and volcanoes are formed
6. Describe divergent boundriesplates pull away from each other, ocean floor spreads
7. Describe transform boundriesplates rub against each other and cause earthquakes
8. Explain the stick/slip motion and how it causes earthquakesplates stick and slip
9. List two ways earthquakes can cause damagelandslides, liquefaction, building damage
10. What is the focusplace deep within the earth where the plates slide
11. Where is the epicenter locateddirectly above the focus
12. How do seismic waves travelin circles out from the epicenter
13. What is a P wavethe first wave, travels like a slinkly
14. What is a secondary wavethe second wave, arrives second,causes more damage
