Create a QR Code Hunt

1) Choose a topic:
a) Social Studies; 5th Grade Civics
2) Identify the standards and write objectives:
a) Standard: Explain the origins, structure, and functions of the three branches
of the United States government and the relationships among them (DOK 12)
b) Objective: Students will be able to explain the origins, structure and
functions of the three branches of the United States government and the
relationships among them through the use of a QR Code Hunt activity.
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:
a) Students will complete a QR Code Hunt activity around the classroom.
b) They will be given a list of questions and have to use the QR codes to match
the questions to the answers.
c) The QR Codes wont have a number or distinguish which question it
corresponds to, so students will have to use the QR Codes as a word bank
of sorts.
4) Write at least 10 questions or prompts (see table below):
a) How many branches of government are there?
b) What is the purpose of the judicial branch?
c) What is the purpose of the legislative branch?
d) What is the purpose of the executive branch?
e) True or false: one branch has more power than the others?
f) What is the system that ensures no group has too much power?
g) Who is the head of the executive branch?
h) How many senators come from each state?
i) How many representatives come from each state?
j) Congress is part of which branch?
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!
