Create a QR Code Hunt

Type the information next to each prompt.
1. Choose a topic: The Solar System
2. Identify the standards and write objectives:
Fourth Grade: 3. Earth Systems Science 1. Earth is part of the solar
system, which includes the Sun, Moon, and other bodies that orbit the
Sun in predictable patterns that lead to observable paths of objects in
the sky as seen from Earth
Students will use prior knowledge for the QR code hunt. They will learn about
the planets in the solar system and how they relate and correspond to one
another, along with the Sun, moon, etc. They will have a better generalization
of what happens in the solar system.

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:
Once students find a code, they will have to decode it to figure out
what it says. They will each have ten blank squares and a matching
board that has each question in a space. Once they find a QR code
they will write down what it says on one of the blank squares and put it
where they think it fits best on their board. We will go over the correct
answers together as a class.
4.

Write at least 10 questions or prompts (see table below):

What does the Earth do around the Sun? Orbit
About how many hours does it take the Earth to rotate? 24 Hours
What planets are known as the gas giants? Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn,
and Uranus
What two planets have no moons? Mercury and Venus
What it is called when the moon blocks the sunlight as it passes
between the sun and earth? A Solar Eclipse
Whats the center of our solar system? The Sun
What is it called when the moon darkens as it passes through Earths
shadow? A Lunar Eclipse
What is the term for one full spin of an object around its axis? A
Rotation
What does the moon do around Earth? Revolves

About how many stars are in the Milky Way? 100 Billion

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:
