At its heart, science is fundamentally about solving questions, or puzzles. Puzzles are those things to which the solution is unknown—now. Each generation of scientists tackles an array of problems, solving some and leaving many more to future generations of scientists. Regardless of scientific discipline, the quest for solutions—the puzzle aspect of science—remains the same. One unique way teachers at McDougle Elementary School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, help students connect to this aspect of science is by hosting a “Puzzle Day.” Here you’ll discover how to embark on a “Puzzle Day” in your own classroom.
