QR Challenge: Rainforest Animals Facts

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. Golden Lion Tamarind Monkeys are one of the most endangered of all rainforest animals, mainly due to habitat loss.They have long tails that are very thin. The body may only be up to 14 inches but the tail adds another 16 inches to their overall body size. They also have a golden mane that surrounds the face. Both males and females weigh less than one pound.They are extremely territorial, and will fight brutally over territory, potentially causing whole family groups to die. The tamarins give alarm calls in response to strange and/or threatening sounds. They have a particular alarm call for large birds overhead. When that call is made, the animals head for the trunks of the trees or sometimes just let themselves fall to the ground. Tamarins have sharp, curved claws on their toes for gripping tree trunks and branches.n/a

3. Poison Dart Frogs are found in Central and South America, the Colourful Poison Dart Frog is critically endangered. As their name implies, poison dart frogs can release toxins from the skin that are distasteful and potentially lethal to would-be predators. Three very toxic species of poison dart frogs from Colombia and South America are used by Indians to poison the tips of blowgun darts. They can be found in trees, as well as under leaves and logs and rocks on the floor of the forest. Because of their size, from ½ to 2 inches long, they are hard to see. Poison frogs warn predators with brilliant colors and patterns. They eat insects, particularly ants from the forest floor. Sadly, because people are cutting down rainforests for farming and ranching, Poison Dart Frogs are at risk and have become endangered.N/A

5. The Lear's Macaw is a blue bird living in Brazil. Its main food is the nuts from Lytocaryum weddellianum, a palm tree. The Lear's Macaw eats up to 350 nuts a day. Unfortunately, the Lear's Macaw is now on the brink of extinction because their habitat is being destroyed and they are sold as pets illegally. They are around 70-75 cm long which is quite big compared to some other birds. When disturbed, these bright birds screech loudly and circle overhead with their long tails streaming but if a predator came along they will simply fly away as they don't have any other weapons! Macaws weigh around 2lbs which is about twice the size of a poison dart frog.1
