The Activity:

Google Search Scavenger Hunt

Instructions

In pairs, please find answers to as many of the following prompts as possible. The goal is to not only find the answer, but to find them in the LEAST number of Google Searches. Please talk through each search with your partner before searching, and then record on a separate document EACH search term you use, as well as how many searches each question required. There is no reason to do these in order. Go after the ones you find most interesting.

After 15 minutes we will come back together as a group and compare our various search strategies as a group.
