QR Challenge: Abiotic and Biotic test

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

6. living factors in an ecosystembiotic factors
7. what are some ways that oceans are used by humans?fishing, mining, transportation, and recreation
8. What is overfishing?catching more fish than the ecosystem can replenish
9. what is the amount of energy that is passed to the next trophic level?10%
10. What is the original source of almost all the energy most ecosystems?sun
11. Diagram which shows how energy moves through an entire ecosystemfood web
12. In a food pyramid, which organism gets the most energy from the sun?producers
13. Why is ocean pollution a global problem?because ocean currents affect global weather patterns
14. What trophic level contains the greatest amount of energy?producers, first trophic level
15. What is the difference between obmivore and carnivore?Omnivores eat both plants and animals, carnivores eat only other animals.
16. What is an example of parasitism?Flea and god, human and tick
17. As energy moves up a food chain, the energy available always___?decreases
18. What is an example of mutualism?flower and bee
19. A hawk that eats a mouse that eats a cricket that feeds on grass is a _____-level______Third level consumer
20. Branch of biology that deals with interactions among organisms and their environmentecology
21. Organism that obtains nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying organisms into smaller forms of matterdecomposers
22. What is a population?Group of organisms of the same species in the same ecosystem
23. What is the difference between population and community?a population is always the same species; a community is made up of different populations
24. What is the difference between a community and an ecosystem?a community only includes organisms; ecosystems include interactions between living and non-living organisms
