~ Tips for using this Website ~

This site provides a Hub of useful Science Links.
These have been chosen as useful "jumping off" places




Instead of downloading huge quantities of stuff, be selective!

• Choose the topic you want.
  Choose the right level of information.
  Copy and paste information into a document and save it.
  Before leaving a site, check out any links pages.
  You will often find extra helpful information there.
   
• Just because something is on the World Wide Web, it is not automatically good or reliable!
  You need to be as critical of a website as of any other information.
   
• Acknowledge the source of your information in project work.
  This shows the extent of your research and is a good way of saying thank you.
