Which mini-lessons have hands-on activities? – Mystery Science Support Center

While many of our mini-lessons have hands-on activities to accompany them, not all of them do. To make planning easier for teachers, we created this handy reference guide which lists every mini-lesson that has an associated activity.

Many of these lessons are seasonal lessons that can also be found here.
