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. What is Adhesion? | the attractive forces between different positive and negative molecules | 2. What is capillary action? | water moving up a small tube because of the force of attraction | 3. Chemical weathering is... | rocks breaking down through chemical changes | 4. What is cohesion? | strong attractive forces between two or more of the same molecule | 5. Give the formula for density. | mass per unit volume, or mass/volume | 6. Molecules at the surface of a liquid changing to a gas is called... | evaporation | 7. What is physical weathering? Give an example. | rocks breaking down through only physical changes. For example, when freezing and thawing of water cause rocks to crack and break apart. | 8. Name four types of precipitation | rain, snow, sleet and hail | 9. The part of a solution that does the dissolving is the | solvent | 10. What is surface tension? Give an example | the tightness across the surface of water caused by the attraction between the polar water molecules. It allows bugs to walk on water, and paper clips to float | 11. What do you call the process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves? | transpiration | 12. Gas changing phases to a liquid | condensation |
