lesson
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.
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.
