Task B: Use "Sweet Search" to Perform Research

To complete Task B you need to use "Sweet Search" to find answers to the question and predictions formed when you completed Task A.

The button below will take you to "Sweet Search". 
Go to "sweet search"
The form below will guide you as you conduct your research.  Read the Ten Hints for conducting a successful search listed below this form if you're having trouble finding information.

Task B is not complete until you  save a copy of the form (only one copy per team) with all the answer filled in to the Edline assignment  "Application Task B" which will be listed on the Science 8 Edline page. 
2012 Insect Collection Application Task B - Research
To download the form from Edline click here:  Task B Worksheet 

Ten Hints for conducting a successful search...
  1. Use very specific search terms (at least three words or phrases) at first, then more general ones if necessary. The idea is to generalize in steps, each time producing more findings than the time before.

  2. Try using quotes around search terms or phrases.

  3. Minimize the number of search terms used; particularly avoid small or unimportant words where possible.  

                     “DVD player ratings” — rather than “Ratings of DVD players”

  4. Place a plus sign (+) in front of search terms to give them more importance.

  5. Use the word stub and/or singular as opposed to plural words.

                       work — rather than works or working

  6. Check your spelling.

  7. Use a wildcard to substitute for one or more characters when searching for text; e.g., an asterisk (*).  You can also place wildcards at the start, middle or end of words, which allows simultaneously searching for several words with the same root or stem.

              play* finds any word starting with the four letters "play" — playback, playboy, playbook, playdough, etc.

  8. For lists of resources, enter “directory of” in front of your search term.

  9. To find a definition, enter “What is …?”

  10. Use plural words to find shopping sites.
