These questions deal with everyday phenomena that we often take for granted, but each can be explained scientifically. Everyday Mysteries will help you get the answers to these and many other of life's most interesting questions through scientific inquiry. In addition, we will introduce you to the Library of Congress' rich collections in science and technology. All of the questions presented on this Web site were asked by researchers and answered by librarians from the Library's Science Reference Services.

Great post with several types of quality questioning strategies. From an English teacher, but can apply to many disciplines

Many great suggestions for questions to use.

Interesting site: students 7-13 can ask questions and get a response within 24 hours, or suggestions on how to find the answers themselves.

Thorough post by Beth Holland about expanding research into inquiry, including have students develop essential questions rather than a topic-based process. Includes several useful links and resources

Practice questions for academic competitions

Lesson plans, discussion questions, and some audio to accompany George's book.  (in Creston library)

Sample questions

Free account available. Includes videos showing how to have students respond to questions in the realm of Common Core

Many teachers in Warren have found the Readworks passages to be very helpful.

Teachthought describes this as "While the site is simple a crudely interactive graphic with links to videos, it has, in one fell swoop, creatively curated some of the most compelling and engaging "problems" in mathematics. From Benford's Law to French Numbers, to whether or not zero is an even number, it frames the content area of math-which is often riddled with rote practice of very traditional arithmetic and formulas-in a problem-based learning kind of approach. Fantastic resource for bell ringers, test questions, math project-based learning ideas, or as a model for students to curate their own curiosities about the incredible-and poorly marketed-world of mathematics."

This site provides an extensive collection of free resources, math games, and handson math activities aligned with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Our math printables are suitable for use in math centers, small group or whole class settings. Instructions for each activity are presented in large print on a task card in child-friendly language to enable students to work on tasks independently after a brief introduction to the task. All materials and activities on the site are designed to support the Common Core State Standards and are based on the belief that effective mathematical learning is best achieved when students are given frequent opportunities to develop their own problem solving strategies, to pose questions, and to engage in mathematical inquiry through the use of open-ended tasks.

Nice idea to allow students to comment on directions and ask questions.

Nice math teacher blog

Great resource for many questions about google apps for schools

Long list of math activities (different standards #) Video and questions

Could be used at many times, but seems very appropriate during COVID. These questions seem more authentic than some.
