Andrew KerrCreated by the National Academy of Sciences, the iWASwondering Web site encourages young people, especially girls, to pursue an interest in science. Lia, the teenage cartoon character who hosts the site, guides visitors through interactive resources and activities developed for middle school students. The site includes science labs, games, interactive comic strips and a teacher guide, as well as ASK IT!, a moderated forum and free online resource designed to model the scientific process. Students are invited to identify and formulate a scientific question, expand on an existing question and pose possible answers to other users’ questions. They can also vote for the questions they’d like to see answered by a scientist. The activity creates an online community that encourages logical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and inquiry-based learning.

Kimberly LaPrairieiWASwondering.org, a science education project operated by the National Academy of Sciences, is expanding its online resources. The site--a companion to the Women’s Adventures in Science book series--has added a free moderated forum to help answer science questions and get students talking to each other about science.
iWASwondering.org is a site dedicated to encouraging interest in science for young students, particularly girls of middle school age.
Terrell Smith, Managing Editor of Women's Adventures in Science, told us via e-mail, "The need to encourage young people--all young people--in STEM pursuits was one of the main concerns raised in the 2007 report Rising Above the Gathering Storm. A recent review of what’s happened in the two years since that report was published indicates that improving K-12 science and math education remains the most pressing issue facing policymakers today. U.S. students continue to perform below average on international comparisons of science and mathematics achievement. So it is crucial that we continue to reach out to young people in innovative and engaging ways to nurture and support an interest in STEM, particularly those groups that aren't traditionally well represented in STEM--like girls."
The site includes a range of activities, materials, and other student and teacher resources, including science labs, games, interactive comic strips, news, and a teacher guide.
The new Ask It! feature of iWASwondering.org invites students to pose a scientific question or offer an answer to an existing question posed by another student. Students can also expand questions posed by their peers and vote to determine which questions will be answered by subject matter experts. It's designed for use in classroom settings or in after school programs or other educational settings. It
"We designed iWASwondering.org to be one of those engaging, innovative ways to attract kids’ interest in science and engineering through storytelling and cool interactive features," Smith said.
