We're Goin' On A Photo Hunt!

Back by popular demand, the Technolojays are going on a photo scavenger hunt!

The Rules
  1. You must take a photo of each required item (no drawings or bringing in the actual objects)
  2. You can not use one photo for two different finds
  3. You can not take two photos of the same object to answer for two different finds
  4. You can not take a photo of a drawing that depicts your find (no drawing arrays, or perpendicular lines, etc.)
  5. You can not take a photo of a computer or television screen unless the OUTSIDE of the screen is the answer (you can't find an example of your find on the Internet and take a picture of it)
  6. You must bring the CAMERA to the next Technolojays meeting on April 14th along with any cables required for downloading your pictures to the computer.
  7. You CAN get help with definitions from your classmates or the Internet but you can lose credit for an image if you ask Mrs. Adam for a definition (or she may tell you the wrong definition on purpose!)
  8. You do not have to have a picture of each item in order to participate, but the person with the most items wins

The Items
  1. Two DIFFERENT examples of a simple machine (in one photo or two)
  2. An arachnid
  3. Any letter of the alphabet that occurs in nature or a building (not drawn and not part of a sign)
  4. An authentic fossil
  5. Symmetry in NATURE (can not be man-made)
  6. A historical monument
  7. A vertebrate
  8. An invertebrate
  9. A cumulus cloud
  10. An example of physical erosion
  11. An example of a plant adaptation (must be able to tell what the adaptation is)
  12. Two states of matter in the same photo
  13. A photo taken facing West with proof that West is the direction being faced
  14. An omnivore
  15. A pollinating insect
  16. The State flower of Texas
  17. A carnivorous bird
  18. Something in decay
  19. A teaspoon of NaCl crystals
  20. H2O in a solid state

If you do not have a digital camera that you can use, you may check one out from Mrs. Adam but you must have the parent permission slipped signed first. On April 14th, you will download all of your images into iPhoto and label each one with which find it represents.





Photo Scavenger Hunt Permission Form

Dear Parent or Guardian,

The Technolojays are doing a photo scavenger hunt. Students will be taking photos of various items. The student with the most finds will win a prize. The students have until April 14th at 2:45pm to take all of their photos. Your child is free to use a personal or family digital camera for this project. If you use your own camera, please be aware that it must be able to connect to a Mac computer. If your camera has a media card, it can be used. If you don't know if your camera is compatible, please call the school and ask to speak to Mrs. Adam. If your child would like to participate but does not have a compatible camera, you may borrow a camera from the school. If you require a camera, please complete the permission slip below. The sooner it is returned to Mrs. Adam, the sooner a camera may be issued.
