Kid’s Search
Kid’s Search is a search engine like Google but made for kids. The home page includes tips on how to be safe on the web and tools to make it easy to find what you need.
Instructions
Before using the search engine, brainstorm some key words about your topic.
They could be general:
- Australian history
- colonial Australia
They could be specific:
- Eureka Stockade
- Kelly, Ned
Check out the Glossary for some more key words.
An asterisk (*) is a wildcard. You can place it at the end of a search word instead of using a different suffix. The search below will find all the websites that include Australia, Australian, Australians etc.
‘AND’ will make your search smaller. The search above will only find information related to Australian colonies.
If you want to find a certain type of information, like a picture, choose from the tools above the search bar.
When you find a good website, remember to test it using the 5Ws of Website Evaluation.
