Year 8 Lesson 3 – Searching for information Objectives To be able to write effective search terms using the Boolean operators, AND, OR and NOT To understand how limiting the search results to websites from the UK can sometimes give better targeted results To be able to use the ‘advanced search options’ in a search engine to better refine searches

Year 8 Better Searching Go to: Support.google.com/websearch/ Make notes on ‘Tips for Searching’ following the links to ‘basic search help’ Look at ‘Operators…’ for more tips… Extension Task: Browse the other ‘How to’ links on the page especially ‘Explore Google search’

Year 8 Try the tips… Search for Jaguar but exclude cars Find the pages in the Daily Telegraph referring to the space craft ‘Curiosity’ Use a wild card to find missing word in a song Look for a MP3 player that costs between £20 and £30 Find the writer of the song containing the words ‘dark satanic mills’ What is a tilde sign and how is it used?

Year 8 Beware How does HTPPS help you in safe searching? How do you know a web-site is really what it is and not just phishing? What other scams are on the web? Can you duplicate a web-site?
