Lesson 4 Selecting search results

Curriculum > KS2 > Unit > Lesson

In this lesson, learners gain an understanding of why search engines are necessary to help them find things on the World Wide Web. They conduct their own searches and break down, in detail, the steps needed to find things on the web. Learners then emulate web crawlers to create an index of their own classroom. Finally, they consider why some searches return more results than others.
