UFOs, the Bermuda Triangle, and Richard III. What do they all have in common? They are a part of some of the biggest unsolved historical mysteries to ever exist. In this ongoing class, students will learn about a different historical mystery each week. Students will listen to a lecture about the mystery, and then be challenged to come up with possible explanations. Students will discuss their theories during class, using their critical thinking skills.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
The mysteries discussed in this class contain themes of violence, death, and creepy or spooky elements. Parents are advised to look up the specific events if they feel their child may be sensitive towards scary elements. We will be mentioning that racism was a motivator for some theories and/or the refusal of theories in the past (Amelia Earhart and The Lost Colony of Roanoke weeks).
