Luckily, a bike is being given away at the general store but the catch is, to enter the contest, you have to guess the number of jelly beans in a big jar in the store. Find out how Jesse uses math skills to create a secret formula to solve The Secret in the Jelly Bean Jar. Ten-year-old Jesse Steam’s curiosity about how the world works leads her to one mystery after another as she pedals around town, often with Mr. Stubbs, her tabby cat, keeping her company in the bike basket. Using simple scientific tools and their powers of observation, Jesse and her friends analyze, test hypotheses, and conduct experiments. If the kids get stuck, they know they can count on Professor Peach, a retired college science educator, to step in with a clear explanation. Jesse STEAM Mysteries promote STEM and STEAM concepts for young children.
