The open-ended activities in this book were designed to extend the imagination and creativity of your students and to encourage them to examine their feelings and values. Specifically, they focus upon the cognitive and affective behaviors described in Williams’ Model: fluent thinking, flexible thinking, original thinking, elaborative thinking, risk-taking, complexity, curiosity, and imagination. Students learn to recognize problems and to produce and consider a variety of alternate solutions to those problems. These activities center on the theme of Mysteries and UFOs, but they are interdisciplinary in nature. grades 4-6
