Course Description

Are your kids curious about Bigfoot, sea monsters, aliens, or anything mysterious? In this 6-week research adventure, students will step into the role of young investigators and explore five of the world’s most fascinating “unexplained” creatures and phenomena. This is NOT a spooky or paranormal class; it's a fun, critical-thinking journey where students learn how real researchers study unusual events. Each week, we’ll dive into a new mystery using case files, eyewitness accounts, maps, diagrams, old sightings, scientific clues, and hands-on mini activities. Students learn how to gather information, compare evidence, ask research questions, and build simple theories. By the end, each learner will create and present their own Mystery Case File on the creature of their choice! This course is perfect for kids who love mysteries, creatures, legends, and exploring the unknown AND for families who want a gentle introduction to research skills without it feeling like schoolwork. Every week includes a printable “Case File Notebook” page to guide learners as they investigate, record evidence, and build their final project. By the end of this course, students will be able to: ✔ Gather information from multiple sources ✔ Take notes without copying ✔ Compare conflicting evidence ✔ Ask meaningful research questions ✔ Form theories supported by evidence ✔ Present findings clearly and confidently These skills transfer beautifully to writing, science, and history—while still feeling fun and adventurous.
