​Lewis and Clark

A source is something or someone that supplies information. When researching a topic, you can use information from multiple sources to help answer your questions.

By using multiple sources, you can check the information in each source to be confident that the information you are learning is accurate. This makes your research reliable.

​

​Using Multiple Sources

A reliable source is a credible source. Credible sources are sources based in logic and fact. It is important for you to use credible sources when researching.
