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. What are involuntary muscles responsible for? | Involuntary muscles are responsible for breathing and digesting food | 2. LAB: One person in your group should try to keep eyes open without blinking. Another person in your group will count how many times the person blinks in 60 seconds. Record the time. Based on this experiment is eye blinking a voluntary or involuntary movement? Explain your answer. | 3. Give one example of action that are controlled by voluntary muscles. | Smiling, turning a book page, etc. | 4. What are the three types of muscle tissue? | Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. | 5. Where is the only place that cardiac muscles are found? | Heart | 6. Draw what the three types of muscle tissue look like? | 7. Define tendon and striated muscle. | answer is in textbook | 8. What is a characteristic of skeletal muscles?(pg 26) | they react quickly or they tire quickly. | 9. How are smooth muscles different from skeletal muscles? | They don't react or tire as quickly as skeletal muscles. | 10. Why do skeletal muscles have to work in pairs? | because muscle cells can only contract, not extend. | 11. Explain why it is good to have thicker muscles. | A thicker muscle means it is stronger. | 12. Explain what happens when a muscle cramps? | the entire muscle contracts strongly and stays contracted | 13. Do the discover activity on page 24. Ms. Woods will be monitoring you! |
