Welcome to the Research Hub
This is your one-stop space for learning how to find information, evaluate sources, and complete school projects with confidence. Whether you’re a student starting your first research assignment or a teacher planning a unit, this hub gives you the tools and guidance you need.
Step 1: Understanding the research process
Research is more than “looking things up.” It’s a step-by-step process:
- Ask a question: What do you want to learn? Example: Why do butterflies migrate?
- Gather background information: Use kid-friendly databases to get the basics.
- Search for reliable sources: Choose articles, videos, and images from trusted platforms.
- Take notes: Write down important facts in your own words.
- Organize your information: Sort notes into categories (habitat, diet, life cycle, etc.).
- Create your project: Poster, slideshow, essay, video — your choice.
- Cite your sources: Give credit to where you found your information.
