Using Google

This is blog number four and in this blog we have to explain how to narrow down our research to at least a few thousand sites. The only way we can do this is bt either going on google or wikispaces but they usually have acurate information so we are going to use google and from there narrow your research down to a few hunded or less sites.


Well, my topic is about pollution. This is a bad thing for Earth because Earth, in general is dying. Earth has many problems with The Greenhouse Effect. This is a bad thing for the world because if Earth dies then,.. we die and I pretty much think that nobody that I know wants to die for no reason, right? Earth has many problems but I am goig to specifacly research the greenhouse effect. There are the many steps you can use to narrow down your search. The steps I am going to use are written down below. These steps are there so you can know what to do when you want to narrow down your search more and have really good acurate information. Here are the steps I used to solve my problem.


First, you go to google.com and then there is a bar under the icon where it says to write what you want to know or want to find out. So, you type in pollution and earth. When you click goole search, all of a sudden you have about 86,100,000 site come out that you can go to! But, you don't want 86,100,000 sites, you want around a couple thousand sites that are useful and has good informatiion that you can use so you don't get a bad research. Then, from there you go to advanced search and go to exact phrase and type in greenhouse effect. From there, you get around 30,900,000 sites. The most I could've narrowed down my search is 30,900,000 sites because if you try to narrow it down more, it says that there's no more sites or whatever you wrote does not exist. That is how you narrow down your search!


My second topic is about the causes of world war 2. You go to google.com and type in causes of world war 2. You get about 109,000,000 sites. You narrow it down by going on advanced search on with one of the words and type in causes. You get about 116,000,000 sites. You can go on advaced search and type in the "without the words" and put the great depression and it narrows down your search to about 14,600,000 sites.


This is how I searched on google, got accurate information, and narrowed down my search effectively. This is like a job well done if you are giving the teacher a report on how to narrow down your search step by step to get a job well done. Thank you for reading this post and have a good day!!=]=]=]=]
