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. How many children around the world die from unclean water every day?a.2,000 b.10,000 c.150 | a.Every day 2,000 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and sanitation; mainly from diarrheal diseases like cholera and dysentery. | 2. Where does deforestation occur most? a.Grasslands b.Tundra c.Boreal, temperate, and tropical rain forests2 | c. Temperate, and tropical rain forests. In North America loggers have devastated many temperate forests. For instance, of the ninety-five percent of forest covering the state of Ohio in 1800, only fifteen percent remains. Deforestation not only affects the trees, but it also affects every plant and animal living in the area. Farmers, cattle ranchers, and the timber industry are destroying the rainforest.2 | 3. What is the definition of an invasive species?3 | An alien(or non-native) species whose introduction does, or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.3 | 4. What type of living things are invasive species? a. Animals b. Plants c. Microbes d. All of the above4 | d.Animals, plants and even microbes (microscopic animals) can take over areas by ether being new to the environment and not having any predators or because of its fast spreading capabilities it can take over very quickly out numbering its predators.4 | 5. Which of the following are indications that our climate is changing? a. Rising global temperatures resulting in in changes in weather and climate. b. Oceans are warming resulting in ice caps melting and sea levels rising. c. Both a. and b.5 | Both a. and b.5 | 6. Climate change is resulting in among other consequences, a rise of ocean acidity. True or false?6 | True. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent. This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans.6 | 7. According to NASA’s website on global climate change, what are some of the future effects that climate change will have on the continent of Africa?7 | By 2020, between 75 and 250 million people are projected to be exposed to increased water stress; yields from rain-fed agriculture could be reduced by up to 50 percent in some regions by 2020; agricultural production, including access to food, may be severely compromised.7 | 8. How does biodiversity loss result in increases in disease incidence for humans, other animals and plants?8 | The species most likely to disappear as biodiversity declines are often those that buffer infectious disease transmission. Those that remain tend to be the ones that magnify the transmission of infectious diseases like West Nile virus and Lyme disease.8 | 9. Conserving as many plants and animals as possible is important for the benefit of humans and of other species. Examples of how individual species help meet our basic needs include which of the following: a. Animals and plants provide food and materials for clothing, shelter, and fuel. b. Insects pollinate crops and control agricultural pests. c. Plants produce the oxygen we breathe, and are the source for many medicines. d. Microorganisms decompose waste products and recycle nutrients. e. All of the above.9 | e. All of the above.9 | 10. The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) Red List gives us an indication of what?10 | The degree of threat levels of extinction of plants and animals.10 |
