Ob Trojanisches Pferd, Gletschermumie Ötzi oder Atlantis – im Grenzbereich zwischen Wissen und Glauben lernen die Schüler selbstständig Geschichte zu erforschen und sich eine fundierte Meinung zu bilden. Die Arbeitsblätter liefern Materialien zu verschiedenen, ungelösten Geschichtsrätseln, für die es keine vorgefertigten Antworten gibt. Anhand von Hintergrundinformationen und weiterführenden Aufgaben lernen die Schüler Spuren zu suchen, Quellen auszuwerten und Beweise zu überprüfen. Wissenschaftliche Probleme können so eigenständig gelöst werden. Ausführliche Lehrerseiten helfen dem Lehrer bei der Umsetzung der Themen im Unterricht. Behandelte Themen sind u. a. der Tod von Tutenchamun, die Ermordung von JFK, das Trojanische Pferd, der Tod von Prinzessin Diana.
