Wonderopolis is a site where kids can find answers to all that they've ever wondered about.  They can view previous "wonders" and through video and text receive answers.  Wonders also include a vocabulary wheel with specific words from that text and a quiz to check your knowledge when you're finished.  Kids can also pose their own "wonder" question to be answered.  There is a "Camp Wonderopolis" tab where kids can sign up for a virtual camp.  There are five options for camp with topics like music, building your own city, health and fitness, and more.

Subscription info: No subscription needed for the basic site, but if you sign up for camp, students under 13 must submit a parent e-mail and parents must give permission via e-mail for their child to participate.  Students could also sign up using their google login.

Age recommendation: Upper Elementary

"There are so many amazing video lessons and interesting things to learn. The videos tend to be short and of a very high educational quality. Each video lesson is accompanied by a series of questions to make the viewer think as well as additional resources to explore in the Dig Deeper section. Perhaps best of all, you can customize any of the lessons and share them with your students." ~Brian Housand
