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
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
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!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

What are the two stages of photosynthesis? | answer3 light dependent reaction, light independent reaction | 4. What is another name for the light independent reaction? | answer4Calvin Cycle | 5. What is the stage of photosynthesis that is responsible for carbon fixation, converting inorganic carbon to organic carbon? | answer5 light independent or Calvin Cycle | 6. What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? | answer6 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 | 7. What are the products of photosynthesis that the biosphere depends on for survival? | answer7 glucose & oxygen | 8. What is the stage of photosynthesis that ATP is converted to ADP? | answer8 light independent reaction or Calvin Cycle | 9. Where does each stage of photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast of a plant cell? | answer9 light dependent reaction in thylakoid & light independent in the stroma | 10. H2O, water is broken down in photosynthesis in the light dependent reaction & it break down into 4 H+, 4 electrons, & the waste of photosynthesis, what is it? | answer10 O2 | 11. What are the three stages of aerobic cellular respiration? | answer11 glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle, ETC | 12. What is an environment(s) without oxygen & with oxygen called? | answer12 anaerobic, aerobic | 13. How many ATP are generated from glycolysis (net), Kreb's Cycle, & Electron Transport Chain | answer13 2, 2, 32-34 | 14. What are the four products of the Citric Acid Cycle? | answer14 2ATP, CO2, NADH, & FADH2 | 15. What is the chemical equation for cellular repiration? | answer15 C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP | 16. What are the two types of fermentation? | answer16 alcoholic & lactic acid | 17.
