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.

5. 6th hr-When the Greeks added vowels to the Alphabet it made it to where words could be pronounced without ambiguity. The Alphabet made it possible for us to read and write today. Also without the Alphabet, there would be no commas or periods which would mean no sentences. Then keys would not be made for a keyboard. Then in the result of that, there would be no computers. Notes would not be on an instrument because we would have no name for them. We wouldn’t be able to spell. There would be no signs for the road and people would get into wrecks easier. There would actually be no cars because people wouldn’t know how to communicate and then they wouldn’t know how to make instructions on a piece of paper and paper wouldn’t be made because we wouldn’t have learned because we can’t communicate and the list goes on and on. You’re almost done! Only the coldest water fountain will do.What do people use the Alphabet for?QR code #5
