The topics are often laid out with questions and answers. The bottom of the list says, "That makes me think" and lists directions one might head to find out more connected information. This inquiry style for page set-up encourages this type of thinking and questioning in students. Some parts of the pages are interactive, but this is not apparent. By clicking on some images you can hear audio.
