Big 6 Research Mode

Conducting an Internet Search

Start your search by using a safe search engine. For example: KidRex, Google Kids, or Ask Kids.

When researching a topic it is important to gather information that is credible. What does it mean to have credible information? Information that is credible will be found on a website that is well known and you will be able to find the same information on more than one website.

When collecting information from the website do not write exactly what was written. Put the information into your own words.

Write down ALL the places you collected information so you can create a bibliography.
