Mysteries are a natural way to combine logical thinking and problem-solving with an engaging story, suspense, excitement and fun. Science mysteries focus on science content, challenging them to "think like a scientist." Sponsors commission the mysteries to engage students with microbiology, ecology, human health, wildlife studies, epidemiology - even art and culture.
