Someone made that page

1 · Learn

Web pages can contain text, images, audio and links. People and organisations create that content, and they may update or remove it. A polished layout alone does not prove accuracy.

Before trusting a claim, ask who produced it, why, when it was updated and whether reliable independent sources support it. An advert and an explanation can look similar but have different purposes.

Who made it?Why?When?What supports it?
Key words and supplied examples.

2 · Worked example

A pretend page says a plant grows ten metres overnight but gives no evidence. I do not accept it just because it has a colourful photograph.

3 · Your turn

Does being the first result or having an attractive design prove that a claim is true?

Check your answer

No. Check authorship, purpose, date and supporting evidence with adult guidance.

4 · Apply your learning

Compare two adult-selected accounts of a safe topic. Record one claim and the evidence each source provides without browsing unapproved sites.

Adult guidance and safety

Use an adult-approved offline or school-managed application and invented non-personal data. Do not change real network settings, publish recordings or upload others' images. Follow paper models with practical work in a suitable tool and check saved files reopen.

Open your writing and drawing pad

Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.

Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.

Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.

Drawing is unavailable. Use the typed working area below.

Your pad is empty.

Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.
