Below you see a list of links to websites I found by using Google. I searched for information on oceans, keeping as my basic sub-topics pollution, litter, sea lions, and protection. I have chosen this sampling of sites, and I would like you to visit each of the sites and decide whether they are reliable websites for your research. Pretend you are researching the effects of pollution on the oceans.

Visit this website and use their form as a guide for evaluating each of these websites. Answer each of the questions listed on that page in a new Word document. (Please do not fill in the boxes on the website - it's connected to another high school and the information will not go to me.)

When you get to the last question, "Do you have any other observations?" please use a User's Guide  to help you come up with something (Bumblebees, The Readers, and Salamanders had the most complete guides).
