Homework

A lot of people get confused about the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web. Your task is to create a guide that explains the difference and shows how they all work together with browsers and search engines.

Your Task

You must explain the relationship between these four key terms:

• The Internet
• The World Wide Web (WWW)
• Web Browser
• Search Engine

Create a poster (this can be on paper or digital) that uses an analogy to explain the four terms.

An analogy is a comparison to help explain something. For example:

“If the Internet is like all the roads and motorways in the country, then the World Wide Web is all the shops, houses, and buildings you can visit using those roads. A Web Browser is like the car you use to travel on the roads, and a Search Engine is like a sat-nav that helps you find the specific building you’re looking for.”

On your poster, you must:

1. State your analogy clearly (you can use the road example or create your own!).
2. Have a short, clear definition for each of the four key terms.
3. Include images or drawings to help your explanation.
4. Make it colourful and easy for someone else in Year 6 to understand.
