Evaluating Websites

Most people rely heavily on the Internet for research, but not all Web resources are created equal. You should always evaluate the web sites you find carefully. Is the information up-to-date? Is the web site accurate? Is it believable?

Evaluate these sites about endanged species. Which one would you choose to make a donation to help save the endangered animal?
 


Next, visit each of the following web sites.
1) The Florida Panther
2) Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle
3) The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus
4) Northern Right Whale

Use  your worksheet to record your notes. Decide which website is most deserving of our donation and rank it #1.  You can rank the other websites too, giving #4 to the one you decided is the worst.
