Internet Scavenger Hunt

Today, we are going to practice some Internet Searchintg skills with the following Scavenger hunt.


Use the link to Google Search to help you find the answers to the following questions.

Remember, it is best to type in key words when searching, but sentences also work well.

I would like you to note which website you used to find your answer.  You may not use About.com, or other wiki.  It must be a reputable source.

You may work in pairs...

Have fun!
