In this hands-on activity, students will unknowingly engage in basic stages of the experimental and engineering design processes in order to solve the mystery of the NOS tube: a discrepant event great for teaching the nature of science. They will also learn the "scientific method," or at least one framework/method for completing science. This is an exciting way to kick off the year, and if you keep the mystery a secret, kids will talk about it until graduation!

With this lesson, you get student handouts, a basic DIY mystery tube making guide, detailed lesson plan, and access to a Prezi presentation.

Is something wrong or missing? I would be happy to make it right! Please contact me with feedback, and I can guarantee that you will receive an updated version :D
