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. Immune | protected from getting a disease. | 2. white blood cells | engulf bacteria and produce antibodies | 3. antigen | antibodies recognise a microorganism using these | 4. memory cells | stay in the blood & give immunity after infection | 5. Vaccine | A safe form of a disease | 6. Side effect | a harmful reaction to a medicine | 7. antibiotics | type of antimicrobial effective against bacteria, not viruses. | 8. mutation | can lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria | 9. open-label | drug trials where drug labels can be seen | 10. double-blind | drug trial where drug label are unknown | 11. placebo | a tablet with no active ingredient | 12. blood capillary | blood vessel with very thin walls | 13. lifestyle factors | the food you eat, exercise, stress | 14. genetic factors | genes which increase the risk of a disease | 15. epidemiological studies | long term studies of disease & its spread | 16. homeostasis | maintaining a constant internal environment | 17. control systems have | receptors, processing centres and effectors | 18. negative feedback | a response which reverses the stimulus | 19.
