Imaginative Investigations of Scientific Mysteries
Discovery Education’s Mystery Science inspires K–5 students to stay curious. Video-based, open-and-go core and mini lessons are driven by questions from real students, who guide the exploration of the world around them and inspire curiosity. Through hands-on science and engineering activities, Mystery Science makes science fun to learn, easy to teach, and memorable for all—in person or at a distance.
Each video tells a story through layers of questions and explanations with real-world phenomena, all of which paint a picture for students that is relatable, age-appropriate, and inclusive, and leaves them with a profound new perspective.
The accompanying lesson begins with a mystery to solve. Students embark on an investigation with the first big clue, guided by questions that provoke thinking and discussion, and gather visual evidence to record and analyze. Then they solve the mystery with imaginative hands-on investigations that cultivate science and engineering practices and inspire a love of science.

Ping-Pong Pickup—Engineering Challenge
K–12 students are invited to give engineering a try with the 2023 Engineering Challenge from Science Buddies. In the challenge, students use their problem-solving skills to design, build, and test contraptions, using simple materials. This year students are invited to make a device out of paper, string, tape, and paper clips to pick up a ping-pong ball and return it to a start line.
