Scavenger Hunts

Hunt #1: X-Ray Vision

You’ve got the power. Time to develop the control.
9 stops  •  Bronze · Silver · Gold  •  No prior experience needed

Mission Briefing

In this hunt, you’ll trace a path through TechNoviceTools starting from the home page. Along the way you’ll watch a movie clip, read about a web detective framework — and at the very end, you’ll use a tool called DevTools to look through a web page, exactly like Clark Kent looking through walls.

Start here: technovicetools.com (or your teacher’s address)

🥉
Bronze Tier — Stops 1–6
Read the page. Navigate. No special tools needed.
🥉 Stop 1 of 9  •  Navigation

A friend tells you: “There’s a page at TechNoviceTools that features a movie clip from Man of Steel.” You’re starting from the TNT home page. Without using a search engine, find the Movie Clips section by looking at the page itself.

Look at the navigation bar at the top of the page. Find the link to Movie Clips.
✏️ Which word in the navbar took you to the Movie Clips page?
🥉 Stop 2 of 9  •  Hidden Quote

You’ve found the Movie Clips page! Look at the large glowing heading at the top of the movie grid. It makes a comparison between imagination and knowledge — and it sounds like it could be inspired by a famous quote.

Open a new tab and search Google for: imagination more important than knowledge quote
✏️ Who is credited with this idea?
🥉 Stop 3 of 9  •  Search Bar

The Movie Clips page has a built-in search bar near the top. The clip we’re looking for is from a movie about Superman — specifically about a young character named Clark Kent.

Type Clark Kent in the search bar on the Movie Clips page. One tile should appear.
✏️ What is the title on that tile?
🥉 Stop 4 of 9  •  URL Observation

Click on the Clark Kent tile to open the clip page. Look at the address bar at the very top of your browser window — that long line that starts with https://. It tells you exactly where you are on the internet.

Read the address bar carefully. Write down the complete URL.
✏️ Full URL of the clip page:
🥉 Stop 5 of 9  •  Reading Comprehension

On the clip page, find the section called “The Scene — Clark’s Classroom Crisis.” Click on it to expand it if it’s collapsed. Read it carefully.

✏️ What was Clark’s exact complaint to his mom?
🥉 Stop 6 of 9  •  Reading Comprehension

Still in the same section. Clark’s mom had a response that gave him a framework for dealing with the overwhelm. Martha’s answer is not “don’t look” — it’s something more useful.

✏️ What was her exact response? (First sentence)
🥈
Silver Tier — Stops 7–8
Follow hyperlinks. Read carefully. Dig for the framework.
🥈 Stop 7 of 9  •  Hyperlink Navigation

Scroll down the clip page and find the second section: “Why This Is the Best Metaphor We Have for Learning to Read Web Pages.” Expand it. Near the bottom is a teal callout box with a link to an Ask Copilot entry.

Click that link. It will take you to a specific entry in Ask Copilot.
✏️ What is the entry number you landed on?
🥈 Stop 8 of 9  •  Framework Identification

Read the Ask Copilot entry you landed on. It introduces a four-letter acronym for a “web detective framework” — a structured way of investigating any web page. The four letters spell out a word that connects directly to Clark Kent’s superpower.

✏️ (a) What is the four-letter acronym? ✏️ (b) Write what each letter stands for:
X =
R =
A =
Y =

Gold Tier — Stop 9
Use your x-ray vision. Right-click → Inspect. No experience needed — just follow the steps.
🥇 Stop 9 of 9  •  Right-Click Inspect

Navigate back to the Movie Clips page (click Movies in the navbar, or use your browser’s Back button). At the top of the movie grid, there is a glowing heading. You are about to look through it.

Follow these steps exactly:
  1. Right-click directly on the glowing heading text at the top of the movie grid.
  2. A menu will appear. Choose Inspect (it may say “Inspect Element” in some browsers).
  3. A panel called DevTools will open at the bottom or side of the screen. You will see a line of code highlighted in blue.
  4. Read the highlighted line carefully. It is the HTML code that creates that heading.
✏️ (a) What HTML tag wraps the heading? (Will look like <h1 or <h2) ✏️ (b) Does the tag have an id= attribute? If so, write its value: ✏️ (c) There is also a class= attribute. Write what comes after class=":
