WONDEROPOLIS
From Common Sense Media
“an informational site that asks and answers interesting questions about the world. Every day, a new “Wonders of the Day” question is posted, and each is designed to get kids and families to think, talk, and find learning moments together in everyday life. Sponsored by the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) and supported by a number of philanthropic partners, there are hundreds of wonder-filled moments for adults and kids alike, but it takes some reading to get them. The questions cover dozens of categories from animals (“Why do skunks stink?) to cultures (“What is zydeco?”) to history (“Who is Uncle Sam?”) to science (“What is space?”). Click on any question to find facts, information, suggestions for exploring further, useful links, and videos.”
