Love these mysteries
I absolutely love placing these mysteries up in the middle school hall by my door. I have the students write an answer and place it in a box attached to the door.

Students love these mysteries?they even argue about them after class! Their questioning strategies have improved, and they now think twice about things they used to assume.
