Skill 1.9 Finding Answers on the Web

Produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, this activity helps students to gain skills in finding reliable information from web-based resources.

Students are presented with an activity sheet that contains a series of specific questions. They need to find the answers using the internet. Students are also asked to describe how they performed the search. This can lead students to consider the reliability of evidence and information found on the internet.
