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.

The MS CCRS for Science was built by adapting and extending information from what research? | A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas | 4. Which core element of the new standards replaced the inquiry strand? | The Science and Engineering Practices | 5. In general, what are the Science and Engineering Practices? | behaviors that scientists and engineers engage in as they investigate and build models and theories about the natural world | 6. Which is not a Science Practice.Using Models, Computational Thinking, Cause and Effect, or Engaging in Argument? | Cause and Effect | 7. Crosscutting Concepts are designed to help students do what? | put core ideas in context and see connections across disciplines | 8. Which is NOT a Crosscutting Concept. Patterns, Stability and Change, Analyzing Data, or Systems Models? | Analyzing Data | 9. Some performance objectives in the new standards prompts educators to use the engineering design process (EDP). How do you know which performance objectives use the EDP? | they are marked with an asterisk | 10. The science content strands (life, physical and earth/space) are now further subdivided into 10 what? | Disciplinary Core Ideas | 11. In the MS CCRS for Science Overview, it states that Mississippi's science teachers are encouraged to embrace the growth mindset.
