If you are looking for a great website to inspire curiosity look no further!  wOnDeRoPoLis is a great website of submitted wonders.  Explore with your student to find out if bulls hate the color red, how our voices are like fingerprints, and why our blood appears blue inside our bodies, but red outside (to name a few!).


Happy wondering!
