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. Ecologists have measured increased salt concentrations in native forests near farming areas in Victoria. High salt concentrations in soils prevent adequate uptake of water by native plants. There is, therefore, a risk of death of native plant species in these areas. | an environmental hazard. | 2. The Environment Protection Authority has guidelines for the maximum amount of non-recyclable toxic material that may be emitted from the furnace chimneys.These guidelines are best described as | Environmental Management System. | 3. A pollutant that moves long distances through the environment by an airborne transport mechanism would most likely... | be a gas at room temperature. | 4. A heightened reaction to a substance is... | an allergic response. | 5. The form of mercury most likely to be involved in bioaccumulation is | methyl mercury. |
