Use Google for school projects carefully and only for a few of your sources.
Using a search engine like Google allows you to access websites that offer a variety of information. However, content authors can be anyone from amateurs to experts, and the purpose of a website can range from offering entertainment to providing information and more. A researcher will need to spend time evaluating all sources for reliability.
Use a website to find information about any topic, but especially when you need the following:

to find both expert and popular opinions
to find information about hobbies and personal interests
