Make the codes, cut, keep your set to put on shelves, and then make copies of the bottom halves to give to the kids (manila envelopes) Important!
Suggestions • Pair kids & give them clipboards • Have an alphabet stapled to their Question Sheet • Don’t laminate QR codes- glare interferes • Have them turn up the volumebefore they begin
More Suggestions • Use cardstock to copy QR code pieces • Use ‘strikethrough’ font to make lines to cut in half • Cut lines VERY STRAIGHT! • Give each pair of students a letter on the envelope and write it on each corresponding QR code piece
Multimedia • Kitchen Geologist • Mr. Parr’s Science Songs * • Bill Nye You Tube clips • maps Click the photos
