Having chosen the topic and divided the tasks between group members it is now time for you to start researching your topic and begin to produce your individual documents.

Your primary source of information will be the Internet; you must use a search engine and perform specific searches to obtain the necessary information. For example there are many thousands of sites on the solar system so, if you are looking for a picture of Jupiter, do not search for ‘Solar System’ search for ‘Jupiter AND Pictures’.

You may also use your own time to research in the school library, at home or any other source of information.

As you research, keep the rest of your group informed by email of any useful sites you find or if you are having any difficulties completing the tasks.

Answer the following questions in your jotter.

1. It is sometimes possible to tell which country a website is from by looking at its address. E.g. UK = United Kingdom and De = Germany. Find five or more examples of country codes.

2. How can you use Internet Explorer to store the addresses of all of your most useful web sites?

3. Copy and complete the following table with at least five websites you have visited, an example has been entered.
