THE INTERNET SCAVENGER HUNT

Read all instructions before you begin


You will be taken on a search of certain topics. Be sure to document your way through your research. Write down all the steps you took to find your way. You may work with a partner, but each of you must write down your own answers. (In other words, you are responsible for your own work.) Good luck :-)

I. Answer the following questions first , then proceed on your search.

1. What is the name of the browser you are using? (Netscape, Safari,or Internet Explorer)

2. What does a search engine do?(such as Google,Alta Vista, Dogpile, Yahoo, etc.)

3. How do you know a web site is valid or reliable? (that the information is accurate/true)

4. What do the various letters (.com, .org, .edu) that follow the address represent?

II. You must find and answer the following information for each question in the scavenger hunt. :

What is the URL (web address) of the final site where you found your answer? Write it down very carefully in case you must find it again. And then, answer the question.(You may have a different URL for your answer than another group has. That's OK.)
