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. The ability for water to stick to itself or to another object. | Cohesion and Adhesion | 2. Type of cell that does not contain a nucleus. | Prokaryote | 3. Small structure found in the cytoplasm and on the ER that makes proteins for the cell. | Ribosome | 4. The type of transport that moves molecules against the concentration gradient (low to high concentration). | Active transport | 5. Plants and animals are examples of these types of cells. | Eukaryote | 6. The term that is used to describe the property of the cell membrane that allows certain molecules in but keeps others out. | Selectively permeable | 7. The organelle always found wrapped around the nucleus. | Endoplasmic reticulum | 8. Found in plant cells but not in animal cells. | Chloroplast | 9. The type of passive transport that moves water from a high concentration to a low concentration. | Osmosis | 10. Solid water floats on top of liquid water. | Low density of ice | 11. The type of passive transport that moves larger molecules such as Glucose across the cell membrane using a protein. | Facilitated diffusion | 12. The organelle that receives, packages, and transports proteins. | Golgi body | 13. The tendency for water to take a long time to heat up or cool down. | Temperature moderation | 14. The type of active transport used to move large groups of substances, such as waste, OUT of the cell. | Exocytosis | 15. The organelle that is responsible for generating ATP (energy). | Michonodrion |
