•Hang the QR codes around the classroom, a hallway, or the school.
•Decide if you would like students to complete the activity individually, with a partner, or a small group. Assign partner(s) if desired.
•Ensure students have access to a QR code reader on a device. This can be completed with a phone, tablet, or laptop, as long as it has a camera.
•Instruct students that they can start at any QR code. They will scan the code to visit the webpage needed to answer the question on the student handout.
•Close with a discussion about correct answers.
