Mystery Science is a hands-on, video-based science curriculum designed for elementary students (typically grades K–5). It offers open-and-go lessons that spark curiosity and build scientific thinking through storytelling, real-world questions, and easy-to-follow experiments using simple supplies.
What sets Mystery Science apart is its engaging format: each lesson begins with a “mystery” question—like “Why do we get hiccups?”—and guides students through discovery with visuals, demonstrations, and guided activities. It's aligned with NGSS standards and designed to be teacher- or parent-friendly.
Value to Students:
Builds wonder and curiosity about the natural world
Strengthens critical thinking and observation skills through inquiry
Makes science accessible, interactive, and fun—even without a lab
Mystery Science is especially valuable for homeschoolers, co-ops, and classrooms looking for high-quality science lessons that require minimal prep and maximize engagement.
