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. Movement across the membrane of a cell that does NOT require energy is called | A: active transport B: passive transport C: facilitated diffusion | 2. When diffusion occurs between one soluble in a solution | A: diffusion is complete when the solute is 50% distributed throughout the solution material B: diffusion is complete as soon as the solute enters the solution material C: diffusion continues until all the particles of the solute are evenly distributed throughout the solution | 3. A point of equilibrium is reached with a soluble material and a cell membrane when | A: all of the particles are found only on one side of the membrane B: the diffusion of particles is equal on both sides of the membrane C: when all the particles have passed entirely through the membrane | 4. The difference in the concentration of substances across an area of space is called | A: point of equilibrium B: osmosis C: concentration gradient | 5. The movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration is called | A: active transport B: diffusion C: equilibrium |
