Lesson 3 Searching the web

Curriculum > KS2 > Unit > Lesson

This lesson learners are introduced to a range of search engines. They are given the opportunity to explain how to search, before they write and test instructions. Next, they learn that searches do not always return the results that someone is looking for, and refine their searches accordingly. Finally, learners are introduced to the two most common methods of searching: using a search engine and using the address bar.
