Mystery Science Explained

There are three levels to Mystery Science:
-
Mini-lessons are for families who have very little time or struggle to fit Science in at all. 5-15 min./week
-
Core lessons are for families who have more time for hands-on Science. 40-60 min./week
-
Anchor Layer is for families who want to take their Science lessons to the next level. 2 hrs./week
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.
