Keywords and search engines
When we want information, we use a search engine. We type a keyword in the box. A keyword is a short, important word. For camels we type: camels. The search engine shows a list of websites. We choose a website with a grown-up and read the information. Short keywords are better than long sentences. A grown-up helps us choose a safe website.
| We want to know … | Keyword |
|---|---|
| what camels eat | camel food |
| how big the Nile is | Nile river |
| what the weather is in Aswan | Aswan weather |
Dad, I want to learn about the Nile.

Nile! I type it in the box.
Now we see a list of websites. Let us choose one together.
Look, there is a photo and some information!
Rana types the keyword Nile. A list of websites comes up. She and her dad choose one website and read it. They learn that the Nile is a very long river and that it flows through Egypt. Rana writes three facts in her notebook. Then she thanks her dad.
