This mystery project will take your students through a make believe scenario where their interest will be piqued and they will develop questions, hypotheses and research strategies. The culmination of the project will be a research paragraph with answers to their own personal questions about Leap Year. Every step of the way, your students will be encouraged to drive their own learning.
