Remember you find images and information VIA not ON Google. Google is a search engine – it finds website for you that contain images or information that match your search criteria. So you need to write the name of the website into your table – or take a screenshot which shows the address of the website. If you use your own photos, these are PRIMARY SOURCES – if you use someone elses they are SECONDARY SOURCES It is important you are aware of this because in the real world you would be sued if you were to breach copyright and use images or information in your work without the permission of the owner.
