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. A material that attracts iron and materials that contain iron is called | magnet | 2. The area of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest is a | magnetic poles | 3. Like poles __________ each other while unlike poles ___________ each other. | repel, attract | 4. Bar magnets have two poles. What are they? | north and south | 5. What would you detect by using a compass, iron filings, and iron objects? | magnetic field | 6. Magnetism is a type of what? | force | 7. If magnet A can hold 3 steel paperclips and magnet B can hold 5 steel paperclips, which one is stronger? | B | 8. What does repel mean? | magnets move away from each other | 9. What object would not attract a magnet? | wood | 10. What object would attract a magnet? | iron | 11. Magnetic materials are made from | metal | 12. The lines of a magnetic field go from: | north pole | 13. If two magnets were in this order: NS NS they would: | attract | 14. How to demagnetization? | heating, hammering | 15. Easy to magnetise | soft iron | 16. Retain magnetism well, but difficult to magnetise in the first place | hard steel | 17. Lines close together indicate a ______ field | strong | 18. A typical electromagnet is made from a coil of copper wire, is called | solenoid | 19. the greater the current, the ________ the strength of the field | greater | 20. Electromagnets are also used in _____ | electric doorbells, loudspeakers, electric motors, ralays and transformers | 21. 4. State two methods by which a piece of unmagnetised steel can be magnetized | stroked with a permanent magnet | 22. Further from the wire they are further apart, showing that the field is________ | weaker | 23. Reversing the current reverses the direction of the_________ | magnetic field | 24. Generator have three things in common | A magnetic field, A coil of wire, Movement | 25. When the coil and the magnetic field move relative to each other, a current flows in the coil if it is part of a complete circuit. This is known as an | induced current | 26. The process of generating electricity from motion is | electromagnetic induction | 27. A coil of wire and magnet moving relative to each other are needed to induce a voltage across the ends of wire. This is called | dynamo effect | 28. three ways to increase the e.m.f induced in a coil or wire | Use a stronger magnet, Move the wire or coil more quickly relative to the magnet, Use a coil with more turns of wire | 29. Four ways of increasing the voltage generated by an A.C. Generator | Turn the coil more rapidly, Use coil with more turns of wire, Use a coil with a bigger area, Use a stronger magnets | 30. A device used to increase or decrease the voltage of an electricity supply | transformer | 31. Parts of transformer | A primary coil, A secondary coi, An iron core | 32. The incoming voltage Vp is connected across this coil | primary coil | 33. This provides the voltage Vs to the external circuit | secondary coil | 34. This links the two coils | iron core | 35. Increase the voltage, so there are more turns on the secondary than on the primary | step up | 36. Reduces the voltage, so there are fewer turns on the secondary than on the primary | step down |
