Create a QR Code Hunt

Type the information next to each prompt.
1. Choose a topic:
Life Science- Great White Sharks
2. Identify the standards and write objectives:

2. Life Science
Students know and understand the characteristics and structure
of living things, the processes of life, and how living things
interact with each other and their environment.
Prepared Graduate Competencies in the Life Science standard:
Analyze how various organisms grow, develop, and differentiate
during their lifetimes based on an interplay between genetics
and their environment.
Objectives:
Students will be able to make educated predictions about
what the I is based on clues that describe the shark.
Students will be able to understand and remember more
about Great White Sharks after going through the QR
stations.
Students will be able to argue why they think I is what it
is backing up their idea with facts.

3. Determine how you want students to proceed through the QR code

hunt and what they are to do with the information or what they are to
do at each clue. Describe your method here:
Students will be in groups of 2-3 and will all start at different
stations as there is no precise order necessary for the group to
conclude what object is being described by the clues. They will then
use their mobile devices to scan the QR code and then will have a
minute to discuss with their group members what they think the clue
could be describing. Once this minute is up, the groups will rotate
around the classroom to another QR code but will not share their ideas
with other groups. At the end of the 10 different stations, the groups
will then share their predictions and argue for why they think the
object is what it is.
4. Write at least 10 questions or prompts (see table below):
Overall question: What am I?
Each QR code will have a clue to this question and the students will use
these clues to make an educated guess at each QR station at what this
mystery thing is.
1. I live in the ocean.
2. I am a fish.

am an endangered species.

I use my speed and coloring to help me hunt.

I am at the top of the food chain and have few threats in the
ocean.
9. I have several rows of teeth that can number into the thousands.
10.
I am blue-gray on the dorsal, or top, part of my body.
5. Create a QR code for each question/prompt. Copy and paste the QR
code next to each question/prompt above. QR codes can link to text,
web sites, images, and more!

These QR codes will be displayed all around the classroom and students will
take turns going to the different codes and use their mobile devices to scan
the codes. This will allow students to use technology along with allow
students to get up and move around throughout the classroom which is so
beneficial to engaging students.
