What children learn in Level 76

Research starts with a question: something you wonder about. A good research question has an answer you can look up.
Find more than one source, like a book and a website. Each one might tell you something new.
When you answer, point to the part of the text that shows it. The book says: They eat jellyfish, sea grass, and crabs. The website says many sea turtles eat jellyfish.
Pick the right source. A dictionary tells what words mean. A calendar tells dates. A map shows where places are.
Your turn! Put the steps of research in order.
What do you wonder about? Write a question you would like to research, and where you could look for the answer.
