Introduction
Watch the BrainPop Internet Search Video to learn about boolean searching. (__Teachers you will need your institutions user and password.)__

Take the Quiz as a class.

Task 1: Setting up Chrome
First you will need to install the following **Chrome extensions** and **app**. Open a **new tab in Chrome** (command t), make sure you are signed in(don't sign out), allow it to **Link your Data,** and click on th**e Apps Button** in the **top left corner** and select **Web Store ** in the bottom right corner.

Search out these extensions and the app and add them to your account.

**Task 2: Using the Pathfinder**
You will use the pathfinder below to find out more about the Mars One Project. Keep in mind that not everything on the web can be trusted. media type="custom" key="27349794"
 * Use this Direct Link if you cannot see the search box.**

**Homework:**
Use the Pathfinder and videos above to learn more about this project.

Record your answers to the questions in __**Response 1**__, in your **__Mars One Journal__**.

=Lesson 2: Website Evaluation=

Discuss these points with your group:

1. What do other people say about the Project? a. Who are the people of both sides? b. What do these people say? c. Are they reputable? d. Might they be biased? e. Who publishes these sites?

Evaluating a Source
If you haven't already done so, read this article. Use the table below to evaluate in your group. __ Record your findings in your Mars Journal. __

Is the Author an expert? What are his qualifications? What other articles has he written? Is the Information Accurate? Are there examples of Bias? || ** Currency ** When was the web site last revised, modified, or updated? Is it well maintained” Are any of the links broken? Where do the links take you? Who links to the site (link:(type url here) || Does it load slowly, does it look professional? Is it well designed,easy to read, easy to use? || ** Purpose and Content ** What is the purpose of this web page?  Is it a personal web page or does it belong  to a company or organisation.  Is it an educational website,a government website or a forum?  Is it for fund raising or advertising? || //**Reference: http**://www.lib.umd.edu/binaries/content/assets/public/usereducation/evaluating-web-sites-checklist-form.pdf//
 * ** Authority and Accuracy **
 * **Design, Organization, and Ease of** **Use Design**

Try the **WOT** extension out with this website.

__**Discuss with your group:**__ What do you find out? Is it useful in this case? If not when might it be useful to use this extension? Now try it with this website. What did you find out? If there is a difference in both cases, why might this be? Do you think this is a reliable method of evaluating websites, why or why not?

Answer the questions in the **Mars Research Journal** for **Homework**.

=Lessons 3-4: **Searching,** Bookmarking and Annotating=

**Lesson 3**
Students to learn how to perform advanced searches using some Boolean operators.
 * Learning Intentions:**

__**Google Advanced Search**__
Google advanced search can help you to organise your search with care.

Other Google Search Options

Finally, you read an article entitled Is Mars One a Scam? about the **Mars One Finalists**, and learn some of their opinions on the mission.
