Create a QR Code Hunt

1. Choose a topic: Science-Cell Biology

2. Identify the standards and write objectives: Observe, explain,
and predict natural phenomena governed by Newton's laws of motion,
acknowledging the limitations of their application to very small or very
fast objects. Analyze how various organisms grow, develop, and
differentiate during their lifetimes based on an interplay between
genetics and their environment. Describe how humans are dependent
on the diversity of resources provided by Earth and Sun.
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 should download a QR scanner either onto their smart phone
or tablet. These can be found on the app stores for both Apple and
Android phones. There are 10 questions. Read the question and scan
the code to proceed to the website where there will be information on
the subject. Do some research and answer questions 1-10.
4. Write at least 10 questions or prompts (see table below):

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!
There are a lot of QR code generators. Some have colors, some allow many
options, some are just black and white, and some force you to download the
QR code.
This QR code generator allows you to copy and paste rather than download:

This one has lots of options and color: http://www.qrstuff.com/
6. Here is a QR code hunt generator: http://www.classtools.net/QR/ - it is
preferable for you to try the do it yourself QR code generators rather
than class tools. If you are struggling, then refer to class tools for help.
Example:
Question
QR Code
Answer

1. What is the function of

the nucleus?

The nucleus contains

DNA, and is responsible
for DNA replication.

2. What do the
mitochondria do?

The mitochondria are

responsible for the
production of energy
(ATP)

3. How do nutrients get

into and out of the cell?

Nutrients travel into or

out of the cell through
the cell membrane.

4. What is the purpose of

the Golgi apparatus?

The Golgi apparatus

modifies and packs
proteins for transport to
other parts of the cell.

5. Do plants have a true

nucleus?

Yes, plants have a

nucleus just like all other
eukaryotic cells.

6. How do plants obtain

their energy?

Plants use the sun to

convert sunlight into
glucose, which is the
energy source.

7. What is the function of

lysosomes?

Lysosomes assist in
digestion and waste
removal from the cell.

8. What stage of mitosis

occurs when the cell is
splitting into two identical
cells?

This processes is called

cytokinesis.

9. What is the stage in

which incomplete
reproducing cells are
destroyed?

This stage is called

apoptosis.

10. What is the main

function of DNA?

The DNA holds all of the

genetic information.
