Student Research Guide
Use this guide when looking up information
Search Better
Use Kiddle to search for kid-friendly results or use Google search filters if using Google
Use keywords when searching. For example, try “hurricane winds” instead of just “hurricanes”
Look up the meaning of words & phrases you want to know more about (see this guide for how)
Use ctrl+f to search for words in a site or article
Can You Trust It?
Ask the 5 W’s (who, what, when, where, & why)
If in doubt, look up facts on another site to see if it’s the same. See this guide for a good way to do that.
Keep Track of Your Info and Sources
Use a notes doc like this one
Write down or copy and paste the names of the websites that you get info from
Add your sources to the end of your writing or whatever it is you make (like a slideshow)
