Library Information Concept: Research Process: Effective Inquiry Grade Band 6-8
Suggested Grade: 6
Searching Google during research for an assignment can be like finding a needle in a haystack or finding Waldo in a Wheres Waldo book. A
Google search can bring up hundreds of thousands or even millions of search results. It is difficult to sort through such a huge amount of
information, and anything we can do to narrow down the search results would help to make the research process easier!
You and your group are tasked with using the advanced search techniques learned in class to find the answer to a provided question. The
goal is not only to find the answer from a Google search, but to find the answer with the lowest number of search results. By using the search
results taught in class, students will see a dramatic decrease in the number of search results.
