QR Challenge: GLYCOLYSIS

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!

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question	Answer
1. Which of the following (Glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain) is not a stage of aerobic respiration?	glycolysis
2. How many (2, 3, 6, 7) molecules of CO2 are produced for each molecule of glucose that passes through glycolysis and the Krebs cycle?	6
3. The electron transport chain pumps protons (out of the mitochondrial matrix, out of the intermembrane space and into the matrix, out of the mitochondrion and into the cytoplasm, out of the cytoplasm and into the mitochondrion)	out of the mitochondrial matrix
4. Which steps (the glucose priming steps, the phosphorylation of glucose, the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate, all of these steps require the input of energy) in glycolysis, require the input of energy?	all of these steps require the input of energy
