Static Electricity – Device-Based Scavenger Hunt Activity – Let the Hunt begin!

Description

Static Electricity – Device-Based Scavenger Hunt Activity.

This activity is the coolest thing I’ve created and your kids are going to love it, mine do. Think of a scavenger hunt, then add devices (Smartphones, Chromebooks, Laptops, or Tablets), engaged students, and learning through assessment and you have this resource.

Quick Disclaimer. In order to use this activity, your classroom must have at least 1 device per 3 students. Smartphones, Chromebooks, Laptops, and Tablets will all work perfectly.

***********

The Content Includes:

• Static Electricity Applications

• Atomic Particles and their roles

• Lightning

• Static Shocks

Here’s how you implement them:

• Print the QR codes and place them around the room

• Place your students into groups

• Let them loose! They move from Location to Location as they complete their tasks. Each Task is assigned by scanning the QR code and there are 5 Tasks per Scavenger Hunt Activity.

• Have them submit their answers directly to your email via a form on my website.
