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. The first QR is located near Scary Bones | Skeleton | 2. What do you call a characteristic of a trait | Allele | 3. Your next QR\'s favorite food is Ketchup | condiment tray | 4. 2 complete sets of a chromosomes is called | dihybrid (2N | 5. The next QR is paying a fine | front office | 6. Brown is dominant for blue. Cross a heterozygous brown eye with a blue eye female. What is the percentage they will have a homozygous brown eyed child? | 0% | 7. Find your next QR getting ready to take stage. | Auditorium commons | 8. The trait that is expressed when coupled with a contrasting trait | dominant | 9. Off to find your next clue; it\'s where you eat your lunch | cafeteria | 10. What sex chromosomes and how many autosomes does a normal male have? | XY &44 | 11. If your thirsty, get a drink on your way back to the classroom | Drinking fountain | 12. Black horse is dominant to a brown horse. A farmer wants to determine if a horse if homozygous or heterozygous black. Explain what he needs to do and how he will determine if the horse is homozygous or heterozygous. | testcross, he will cross the horse with a homozygous recessive brown horse. If all the offspring are black then it\'s a homozygous horse. If any of the offspring are brown, then the horse must be heterozygous. This is due to the fact it gets one allele from each parent. | 13. Check out how much our goldfish grew | fishtank | 14. In rabbits the allele for Black coat color is dominant over the allele for brown coat color and the straight hair allele is dominant over the curly hair allele. Cross a heterozygous black straight rabbit with a rabbit that is heterozygous for both traits. Give the Genotype and Phenotype Ratio. | Genotype BBSs-2/16, BbSs-4/16, BBss-2/16, Bbss-4/16, bbSs-2/16, bbss-2/16 ; Phenotype Black & Straight -6/16, Black & curly -6/12, Brown & Straight -2/16, Brown & curly- 2/16 |
