One of the most vital instincts in every human being is curiosity – the desire to learn more about our surroundings and to understand the world we live in.

Curiosity helps youth (and adults!) at school, work, and in life. Curious thinkers uncover new ideas and ways of doing things by asking questions about objects, processes, and their interactions.

In school, asking questions is a part of core academic classes such as reading, math, science, and history. State and national learning standards expect students to make careful observations, generate questions, and then explore ways to answer those questions.
