=**Internet Research 5: Adding Keywords**=


 * Aim:** How do we avoid common mistakes when doing searches on the Internet, in particular with the use of key words?


 * Objectives:**


 * Students will learn to search with additional keywords


 * Vocabulary:**


 * search text box
 * search button
 * broader search
 * narrow search


 * Adding keywords:** When searching for information on the Web, you can get more and more specific by adding keywords to your search. The fewer words you type in, the broader your results will be. Let's try a search on developing a solar energy plan for New York City and see if you really do get fewer results with the more keywords you add.


 * Class Activity 1:**

1. Go back to your previous search in Google and type in "solar energy." How many results did you get?

2. Now add the **keyword**, "city," to your search. How many results did you get now? The results should be more about solar energy use as it pertains to cities.

3. Now add the **keyword** "develop" to your search and hit enter. How many results did you get now? Notice that the number of results is even smaller and more closely related to developing solar energy use for a city.

4. Now add the **keyword**, "plan" to the search. How many results did you get now? Your results should be even more limited and pertinent to your search for a development plan for solar energy use in cities.
