What this home school momma did not like about One Minute Mysteries: 65 More Short Mysteries You Solve With Science!
1) Wish that they had been a bit more challenging, but the book is for 8-12 year olds and my student is almost 13, so it’s for the younger kids.
What this home school student liked about One Minute Mysteries: 65 More Short Mysteries You Solve With Science!

2) They made me have to think.
3) The book was fun.
What this home school student did not like about One Minute Mysteries: 65 More Short Mysteries You Solve With Science!
1) Wish that there was more of a clear break between the mystery and the solution, because it was way too easy to just accidental flip the page and start reading the answer. Maybe like a picture of a STOP SIGN at the end of each mystery to remind you to STOP!
2) Wish that there were more books by them to read.
I think that these would be fun for using on a sporadic basis during science class. A fun thing to pull out and surprise the kids with during summer break.
I wish that they would come out with a book for chemistry, biology and physics for older kids.
