Research Misshaps
You can make mistakes when you write. You can think you are doing every thing correct and then publish it and it could be totally incorrect! You can get someone to read it, for instance a teacher and they say... Um excuse me, this is incorrect data in your project. If you're going to search it on the Internet you need to search it multiple times in different words. Which ever info comes up the most is probably the correct one. But that isn't the case all the time. Someone wrote the incorrect data in a 4th grade textbook and one of the students parents realized it and reported it and the author made the kids learn incorrect things about the Civil War. That's one major example, the same thing could happen to you too so always check more than once when you're researching somthing!

Very good thinking Tayvion. I really like your idea of information showing up often and then deciding that is the correct information. How do you know if your information is coming from an expert? What makes someone an expert anyway?
