QR Challenge: Biology Unit 1 Test Review

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

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

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.


B. The lesson:

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!


C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.


Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. A possible explanation for a set of observations that must be tested is called ahypothesis
2. A well-tested explanation for a broad range of natural events is called atheory
3. In an experiment, its variables are not changedcontrol group
4. All of the chemical reactions that an organism carries out to stay alive is calledmetabolism
5. A personal preference that is not scientific is calledbias
6. A scientists grows tomatoes in greenhouse that differ only in the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. He determines the weight of tomatoes produced by plants in each greenhouse, and compares them to each other and to tomatoes grown in air with a natural, unaltered amount of carbon dioxide. Is this a controlled experiment? Why or why not?Yes, because the other variable changed was how much carbon dioxide was in the air
7. A group of scientists decide to post their research results on the Internet instead of publishing in a scientific journal. What part of the scientific process have they skipped and why does it matter?Peer review because it allows scientists to review other scientist work
8. Why is a virus not considered a living organism?It does not possess all the characteristics of a living thing especially that it is not made of cells
