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.

16. What is the term for the amount (joules) of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by 1 degree Celsius?Specific Heat
17. What type of climate is a climate where it is cold year round and there is minimal precipitation?A polar climate
18. How can human activities affect climate?Greenhouse gases, deforestation, natural sources, aerosols, pollution, etc.
19. What is the combined ocean and atmospheric cycle that results in weakened trade winds across the Pacific Ocean?El Niño/Southern Oscillation
20. What is a continental climate?A climate where there are warm summers and cold winters and there is moderate precipitation.
21. What is the term for the rise in Earth's average surface temperature during the past 100 years?Global Warming
