Mystery Science mini-lessons are short, highly engaging science investigations that begin with a curiosity-sparking question often inspired by real questions from elementary students. You can access these mini-lessons from your Mystery Science landing page.

If your students are curious about something, you can enter their questions in the Curiosity Jar. Mystery Science pulls questions from here to cover in their mini-lessons.
