Searching the internet for information is easy with online tools called search engines. Search engines can access multitudes of information 24 hours a day. To use a search engine just type in a keyword. The search engine uses these keywords to seek out the information that you are looking for in an Internet database. The search engine will return with a list of related Internet links in an ordered list. The closest matches to what you want will be located at the top of this list.

Tip: Each search engine may have hints for narrowing your search. For instance, if you type SCIENCE EDUCATION you may get back every page that contains science and every page that contains education. Typing "SCIENCE EDUCATION" or SCIENCE+EDUCATION may narrow it down to pages about science education.
