Are You Curious? Chances are if you are perusing this list you are of a curious sort, but maybe you're surround by people who don't feel the same depth of curiosity as you do. Take heart, curiosity can be nurtured and grown in almost anyone you know.
When we're born we are a curious bundle looking out at a world we know nothing about and so we go in search to find out what's this life all about, we don't think about it we just spend our time in the wonder department and soak it all in. Somewhere along the line many of our co-travelers stop being curious and that's a huge loss, not just for them but for all of us.

How does a sunset work? We love to look at one, but Jolanda Blackwell wanted her eighth-graders to really think about it, to wonder and question. So Blackwell, who teaches science at Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior High in Davis, Calif., had her students watch a video of a sunset on YouTube as part of a physics lesson on motion.
I personally have never seen a student that was not curious about something. I have seen many students who have suppressed their curiosity when they enter school to such an extent as to be nearly undetectable, but it is still there.
Curiosity is the engine of intellectual achievement - it's what drives us to keep learning, keep trying, keep pushing forward. But how does one generate curiosity, in oneself or others?
