Curiosity is such an innate human quality, and every parent can recall the barrage of questions with which we were greeted almost daily by our growing children's growing minds. But our minds never stop growing, or at least they don't need to, now that Wonderopolis.org, a website and online community, is here. Part of what makes Wonderopolis.org such a fabulous experience for child and adult users alike, and such a potent resource for parents and educators, is the highly appealing and very digestible manner in which topics and information are organized. Each day a new 'Wonder of the Day' is presented (recent Wonders include 'How Hot is the Sun?,' and 'Why do you Sneeze?'). Both text and video are provided, each of which is, in itself, plenty informative and engaging. One of our favorite things to do is to print out the text portion and use it, during meals, as a launch pad for stimulating, enjoyable conversation. We can't speak highly enough about Wonderopolis.org - and yes, it's free!
