Learning objectives
Use internet search strategies to locate and verify specific factual information.
Teaching tips
Update the answer key before use. Several entries explicitly use a 2021 reference date; current officeholders, ages, prices and population rankings need a dated source and a clear definition.
Clarify the paper-clip invention, correction-fluid brand, record-sales estimate and Russia/Soviet Union questions before scoring them; their wording or keyed attribution is not dependable as supplied.
Use effective keywords and exact-phrase searches. Do not rely on the worksheet’s old plus-sign instruction or a search-result snippet as proof; open the source and assess it.
