QR Challenge: The What!

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

• Download a QR reader (e.g. I-Nigma | NeoReader | Kaywa) onto their mobile devices
• Bring these devices into the lesson.

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!

1. An adult human body is made up of 11 organ systems.
2. The body systems are composed of 22 internal organs, 600 muscles, 206 bones (in adults) and 100 trillion cells.
3. Body system - Skeletal system
4. Body system - Integumentary system
5. Body system - Digestive system
6. Body system - Respiratory system
7. Body system - Circulatory/Cardiovascular system
8. Body system - Excretory system
9. Body system - Reproductive system
10. Body system - Nervous system
11. Body system - Muscular system
12. Body system - Immune system
13. Body system - Endocrine system
14. Tissue category - muscle tissue
15. Tissue category - connective tissue
16. Tissue category - nervous tissue
17. Tissue category - epithelial tissue
18. Organs are discrete structures that can be comprised of at least 2 and often all 4 types of tissues
19. There are more than 200 different types of cells in the body
20. Nervous Tissue - facilitates rapid internal communication
21. Epithelial Tissue - forms a covering or lining for internal and external body surfaces.
22. Connective Tissue - supports and protects body structures
23. Muscle Tissue - creates movement
24. Cell type - Red Blood cell --> no nucleus, very organelles, red and concave in shape
25. Cell type - Nerve Cell --> elongated stem, enables you to move and feel sensations, cells communicate with each other
26. Cell type - Smooth muscle cell --> spindle shaped cells found in arteries and the digestive track. Large numbers of mitochondria.
27. Cell type - Sperm Cell --> Male reproductive cell. Does not join together to form tissue. Carries just 23 chromosomes in it's nucleus. Joins with egg cell to create new life in the form of a baby. The smallest cell in the human body.
28. Cell type - Egg Cell --> Female reproductive cell. Does not join together to form tissue. Also called Ovum cells. The largest cell in the body. Carries 23 chromosomes. Joins with sperm cell to create new life in the form of a baby.
29. At each level of organization—cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems—structure is closely related to function.
30. Muscle tissue types - Smooth, cardiac and skeletal
