Every year I have my 8th graders and my
Principles of Chemistry and Physics students research an element off of the
Periodic Table. Most of my students have
no idea what to type into a search engine to even begin looking things up. I have found that my student’s idea of
research is to go to Wikipedia and call it good. Another problem that I run into is after they
have exhausted Wikipedia is for them to find credible sources. I am hoping I
can eliminate 2 of those problems by having my students use the custom Google
search engine that I prepared. The
search engine will give me a bit of control over what sites my students can
find information. The only sites that
they can get information from are the sites that I pre-loaded into the search
engine. Here is the search engine that I
created.
If you would like to know how to create your own custom search engine here is a good link from Google Developers.
