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.
Question | Answer |
| 1. Number 1 is mighty mighty | organelle = mitochondria. Function: breaks down glucose to provide energy (ATP) for the cell | 2. Number 2 does not have ribosomes attached to it | Organelle Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum (sER). Function makes lipids, drug detoxification | 3. Number 3 is covered in organelles where proteins are made | Organelle = Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (rER). Function: moves proteins around the cell | 4. Number 4 gel-like gluid that fills the inside of a cell | organelle cytoplasm. function supports organelles | 5. Number 5 can be attached to another organelle or floating in the cytoplasm | organelle=ribosome Function= synthesize (makes) proteins | 6. Number 6 is a storage bubble and is much larger in plants | Organelle = vacuole. Function storage of water, nutrients or waste | 7. Number 7 helps with cell division | Organelle = centriole. Function helps in cell divisionand the formation of spindle fibers | 8. Number 8 is the "guard" says who can enter the cell | organelle = Cell membrane. Function= controls what enters the cell | 9. Number 9 is where ribosomes are made | organelle=nucleolus Function=makes ribosomes | 10. Number 10 is the boss of the cell | organelle=nucleus, Function=controls all cell activities contains DNA | 11. Number 11 packages stuff | Organelle - Golgi body. Function helps package proteins and lipids destined to be exported from the cell | 12. Number 12 breaks down things | Organelle = lysosome Function breaks down excess or worn out cell parts | 13. Number 13 are great supports | Organelle = microfilaments. Function give shape to the cell and support all of its internal parts | 14. Number 14 is made up of DNA | Organelle= chromosomes. Function made of DNA carry all the information used to help a cell grow, thrive and reproduce | 15. Number 15 is only found in plants and needs sunlight | Organelle chloroplast. Function photosynthesis/makes glucose | 16. Number 16 is the outermost layer in plant cells | Organelle cell wall. Function maintains shape and protection | 17. Number 17 is a motility organelle | Organelle flagellum. Function = movement |
