You are sitting in science class when your teacher announces that you are going to do an animal research project. You silently groan as you pull out "naked mole-rat" from the hat; you know nothing about naked mole-rats." You groan out loud when your teacher passes out a grading rubric and you read that you need to use a book, an encyclopedia, and a web site to find information. How are you going to find all that? Where are you going to find all that?
