This QR Code Habitat Investigation is a great whole group inquiry activity, small group investigation, or independent activity (centers, extension, "I'm done") for students grades K-2. There are different versions for those of you without subscriptions to tools like BrainPOP or PebbleGo.
Version 1: BrainPOP Jr. (paid) and PebbleGo (paid)
Version 2: PebbleGo (paid)
Version 3: YouTube (two versions of this are provided for younger students who need QR codes more spread out)
Topics are: forest, arctic, rainforest, desert, and ocean
I have also included 3 different recording sheets. One has students recording (writing or drawing) facts and then drawing a picture of their topic. The other two are lined recording sheets, one blank and one with prompts ("My topic is..." and "I learned...").
QR Codes can be scanned on any tablet or cell phone as well as laptops/computers with webcams! For tablets and phones, download a free QR Reader from your app store. For computers, just download Google Chrome and add a QR Reader extension.
