My Project

My school has used Mystery Science for six years, ever since the school opened. This supplemental curriculum is a perfect fit for all students on our campus. With Mystery Science, students encounter science and engineering in a hands-on, curiosity-sparking way.

My goal is to get a two year subscription to this amazing supplemental curriculum.

With potential budget shortfalls, having the resource for 2 years will bolster my ability to plan and explore more hands-on materials to enhance my lessons. Having this resource gives all students a chance to experience science and engineering in a way that is engaging, enjoyable and memorable.

Our school is diverse, with students coming from all parts of the world. Even though there are many academic needs in my K-5 elementary school, Mystery Science has been a resource that reaches all students: from struggling students who need support, to the students who are quick finishers and need to extend their learning; from the quiet, shy students to the extroverted, bold students.

Mystery Science gives all my students a chance to shine!
