We are fourth and fifth grade students in Mrs. Sunda's Gifted Resource class. We examined ten so-called Unsolved Mysteries, or events that have various contradictory theories. We used books and Internet sources to research these events and then we prepared PowerPoint slide shows of our findings. Using reasoned judgment, we drew our own conclusions about whether we believe the theories we found.

So take a step into the unknown and judge for yourself . . .
