Mystery Science

Description

Mystery Science (K - 5)  is a site with “open-and-go lessons that inspire kids to love science.” 

This Subscription is available to Enrolled and Flex families.

  • Hands-on — lead students in the doing of science and engineering.

  • Less prep, more learning — prep in minutes not hours. Captivate students with short videos and discussion questions.

  • Easy to use – made for teachers by teachers.  Homeschooling parents can use this site easily, as well.

Every lesson begins with a Mystery that hooks your students. Then, there is a narration of an unforgettable story with stunning images and videos punctuated with opportunities for discussion. Every lesson concludes with simple hands-on activities designed to use supplies you already have (or are easy to get).

Here is how Mystery Science explains its mission.

Logging In

Go to the list of mysteries to find a mystery that you would like to use. Alternatively, go to Mystery Science Year Plan to choose a mystery. Then contact your HCOS support teacher to tell them the names of the mysteries so they can send you the student links. Links no longer expire. Once you receive the link from your support teacher, you can start using Mystery Science.

Using the Subscription

To find all Mystery Science lessons by grade level, go to Mystery Science Lessons By Grade Level.   Choose the grade tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

To find a year plan for using Mystery Science, following the BC Ministry guidelines, go to Mystery Science Year Plan.  Choose the grade tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

For information about starting up in the site go to Mystery Science – Getting Started.

NOTE:  If parents want to be able to assign mysteries and have the entire site available to them, the only way to do this is for them to purchase their own access to the site.  The cost is $89.00 US for one year.  Mystery Science Pricing
