Wonderopolis is 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. The questions cover dozens of categories from animals ("Why do skunks stink?") to cultures ("What is zydeco?") to science ("What is space?"). Click on any question to find facts, information, suggestions for exploring further, useful links, and videos.

The National Gallery of Art is encouraging kids to create their own works of art interactively! A Vermeer-inspired dollhouse, a Rousseau-ish jungle, and Calder-like mobiles are all open to artistic interpretation as kids can swap out and personalise elements. The website offers information on artists and their artwork. The app can be accessed using an iPad or tablet device where students can try their hand at Swatchbox or Paintbox (suitable for young children).
