Mystery Science: How Much Water Is In the World?
In this Mystery, students use estimation and graphing to discover the surprising difference in the amounts of fresh and salt water on Earth.
In the activity, Map the World’s Water, students count squares on maps and record the amount of fresh, frozen, and salt water found in their assigned area of the world. Then students calculate and graph how much of each type of water is present on the planet.
In this Mystery, students explore the idea that the rock under our feet sometimes contains fossils, and investigate how these fossils reveal changes in habitat through time.
In this Mystery, students discover why dogs’ expressions, like tail wagging, are so useful when living in a pack.
In this Mystery, students investigate mosquito life cycles and habitats and discover the role of mosquitoes in carrying diseases such as malaria.
In this Mystery, students explore the effects of natural hazards, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and dust storms.
In this Mystery, students will learn about real-life bridge design.
In this Mystery, students explore the past and present pattern of where volcanoes exist on the earth.
In this Mystery, students will learn about the types, causes, and dangers of landslides.
In this Mystery, students discover the mechanism by which their muscles control their bones to move their bodies.
In this Mystery, students explore the brain’s role in receiving information from the senses, processing that information, and controlling the muscles to enable movement.
In this Mystery, students analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different sources of energy, including burnable fuels and alternative (renewable) energies.
In this Mystery, students develop their thinking about the predator/prey relationships between living things.
In this Mystery, students investigate the hypothesis that an asteroid impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
In this Mystery, students will be introduced to the Earth’s orbital movement around the Sun, as a means of seeing why the constellations change.
