Searching on the Internet - Keywords

I can use search technologies effectively

Finding the right information on the Internet can be a tricky task. A search engine can help to
locate information quickly and accurately. Can you name some different search engines?
When searching for information on the Internet it is important to think carefully about the words
you use. The words you choose are called keywords.

Look at these research questions about animals and underline three or four
keywords that would help to find the most relevant information. Write the
keywords in the search box.

1. Animals which eat meat are called carnivores.

How do the teeth of carnivores help them to eat their food?

2. Some animals use colours to camouflage themselves for protection.

Which prey animals use camouflage?

3. Some animals live in very cold environments such as the Arctic.

What adaptations do they have for living in such cold places?

4. Most birds are able to fly. What characteristics do birds have which allow flight?

5. Many animals are migratory. Find out about the migration of land animals in Africa.

Try adding the keywords into a search engine. Do the keywords find good information to help
answer the questions?
