FINDING OUT
What is FINDING OUT?
 |
In the Finding Out stage, students gather information to answer their questions and deepen their understanding. Teachers guide students in finding reliable sources and using various research methods. Students explore books, articles, websites, and conduct interviews, collecting data and evidence. They take notes and organise their findings, identifying patterns and connections. This stage builds a solid foundation of knowledge for the later stages of the inquiry, emphasising the importance of credible sources and effective research techniques. |

EVALUATING INTERNET SOURCES
The internet is an amazing place with a lot of information, but not everything you find online is true. When you are doing research, it’s important to make sure the information you use is reliable. Here are some tips to help you determine if a source is trustworthy.
 |
.gov: This means the website belongs to the government. Information on these sites is usually very reliable. |
 |
.edu: This indicates that the site is from an educational institution, like a school or university. Information from these sources is typically trustworthy. |
 |
.org: These sites usually belong to non-profit organisations. Most of the information here is reliable, but some organisations may have specific viewpoints, so it’s good to check if they have a particular agenda. |
By paying attention to these domain suffixes, you can better evaluate whether the information you find online is credible and accurate.
