Mystery Science: The Case of the Missing Bicycle

Mystery Science: The Case of the Missing Bicycle by Suzanna E. Henshon, Ph.D.

Watch your kids come alive as they work together to solve these interactive mysteries! The Mystery Science series for grades 3–4 was designed to meet the growing need in elementary school classrooms for hands-on, inquiry-based activities. The series combines interdisciplinary learning with field-tested, standards-based activities that encourage kids to explore their surroundings, make observations, ask questions, and communicate their ideas at every step. Children will love sorting through evidence and making educated guesses as they learn to think like real forensic scientists!

The Case of the Missing Bicycle introduces kids to the basic principles of scientific inquiry. As children complete the activities, they will gain confidence in their ability to analyze and interpret competing information, and they will learn through hands-on experience how to transition from using lower order, concrete thinking skills to using higher order, critical thinking and cooperative problem-solving skills. Each book in this series includes detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to stage the mystery in your own classroom or home, as well as reproducible handouts and a rubric for assessment. Perfect for classrooms, homeschools, and for anyone wanting to have fun with science.
