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 layer is the ozone in? | ozone | 2. What is the most common greenhouse gas? | Carbon dioxide | 3. What climate zone do we live in? | Temperate | 4. What describes a warm climate zone with a lot of moisture in the air? | Tropical humid | 5. How does being close to the equator impact climate? | warmer temperatures, consistent temperatures | 6. What is carbon? | an element that is essential to all life | 7. What are 3 examples of fossil fuels? | natural gas, oil, coal | 8. What are microclimates? | smaller climates within the larger climates that have some variation | 9. What on Earth needs carbon dioxide for food? | Plants | 10. What are the 2 most damaging greenhouses? | CFCs and carbon dioxide | 11. Where does the carbon in the atmosphere come from? | burning of fossil fuel or exhaling of animals | 12. What is climate change? | The rising of Earth’s temperatures due to fossil fuels, etc… | 13. How does global warming impact animals? | Destroys habitats and other food sources | 14. How does global warming impact trees? | less oxygen in the air, more carbon dioxide that plants can handle | 15.
