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. A ball falls off a table which is 1 meter high. Find the speed with which the ball hits the floor. | 4.43m/s | 2. After take-off, an aircraft climbs at a rate of 150 m/s at an angle of 30º to the ground. What are the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity? | x=129.9m y=75m | 3. A feather is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.40 meters. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s2. Determine the time for the feather to fall to the surface of the moon | 1.29s | 4. A glider is traveling at a velocity of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 15º below the horizontal. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the glider’s velocity. | x=19.38m/s y=5.18m/s | 5. Water from a fountain rises to a height of 6m. By modeling the drops as particles, find the speed of the water as it leaves the nozzle. | 10.8m/s | 6. If Michael Jordan has a vertical leap of 1.29 m, then what is his takeoff speed and his hang time (total time to move upwards to the peak and then return to the ground)? | vi = 5.03 m/s and hang time = 1.03 s (except for in sports commericals) | 7. On the way to pick up his girlfriend Erick drives 4 miles North, turns and drives 6 miles 35º North of West and then drives 2 more miles North. What is Erick’s total displacement? | 10.66 miles, 75 degrees north of west | 8. It was once recorded that a Jaguar left skid marks that were 290 m in length. Assuming that the Jaguar skidded to a stop with a constant acceleration of -3.90 m/s2, determine the speed of the Jaguar before it began to skid. | vi = 47.6 m/s | 9. A baseball is popped straight up into the air and has a hang-time of 6.25 s. Determine the height to which the ball rises before it reaches its peak. (Hint: the time to rise to the peak is one-half the total hang-time. | d = 47.9 m | 10. Max plays middle linebacker for South's football team. During one play in last Friday night's game against New Greer Academy, he made the following movements after the ball was snapped on third down. First, he back-pedaled in the southern direction for 2.6 meters. He then shuffled to his left (west) for a distance of 2.2 meters. Finally, he made a half-turn and ran downfield a distance of 4.8 meters in a direction of 240° counter-clockwise from east (30° W of S) before finally knocking the wind out of New Greer's wide receiver. Determine the magnitude and direction of Max's overall displacement | 8.17m at 55.75 degrees south of west |
