I believe that first graders have the same curiosity and are just as motivated to learn as sixth graders or high school students. Students curiosity has not declined from first grade but it is the fact that students know so little when they are in first grade. At such a young age children have motivation to learn through their curiosity to find out what many people already know. To these first graders new knowledge, is new knowledge they aren't worried about what it is they just want to absorb as much information as they can. Older students on the other hand know all the basics and have a good grasp in most of the concepts in the world this does not mean they are not curious. These students are curious as well, they are just looking for certain things that interest them and the answers they are looking for might be more complex or not actually exist. They might question religion, what happens when you die, aliens, government, and  life. Curiosity will never stop no matter how old you are, there will always be things we don't know and there will always be things that we want to know, just all apart of life.
