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 researcher manipulates the IV, but does so in the participants' natural environment | A field experiment | 2. The IV is changed by natural occurrences, the researcher observes the effect on the DV2 | A natural experiment2 | 3. It predicts what changes will take place in the DV when the IV is manipulated3 | An experimental hypothesis3 | 4. It predicts that there will be a change in the DV when the IV is manipulated4 | A two-tailed hypothesis4 | 5. It predicts in which direction the change will take place5 | A one-tailed hypothesis5 | 6. There will be no change due to the manipulation of the IV6 | A null hypothesis6 | 7. It has greater ecological validity than a laboratory experiment7 | A field experiment7 | 8. This type of experiment has less control therefore there is more possibility of the influence of confounding variables and more difficult to replicate8 | Field experiment8 | 9. This type of experiment is extremely difficult to replicate9 | A natural experiment9 | 10. Consent,deception and informed consent are all expamples of10 | Ethical issues10 |
