For this scavenger hunt, each poster features a famous scientist and students submit their answers by typing in the name of the scientist next to the graph that they've chosen. If they type the name of a scientist whose graph does not satisfy the prompt, the data validation catches it and displays the warning message "Try Again :)". Students will not be able to submit the form until they get all questions correct. For information about how to set up the google form in this way, check out this blog post about Creating a Google Form Scavenger Hunt. The screen shots below show what the form looks like when students enter an answer correctly and incorrectly. Since the poster with Katherine Johnson is the only one in this set that depicts a velocity graph that is moving in the negative direction and speeding up, the google form won't accept anything but "Johnson" for that question Motion Scavenger Hunt Files
Virtual Scavenger HuntTo make this scavenger hunt possible in an all virtual environment, I put together a google site so that students can view the different posters and the google form without having to have multiple devices or tabs open.
Once students submit all of their correct answers, they will be taken to a confirmation screen that states "Congratulations! You found a matching graph for each of the motion descriptions. Take a screenshot of this confirmation screen for proof :)". With this, you just send students directly to this Google site and have them send you the confirmation rather than recreating it on your own. SolutionsAs mentioned earlier, one of the cool things afforded by this format is that questions can have more than one possible answer. Below is the list of questions and the accepted answers.
