Answer
1. what causes global warming for kids?
2. I used Google.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+causes+global+warming+for+kids&aq=0&oq=What+causes+global+warming
1. What terms I used for search is that "global warming" ,"cause" , and "kids"
2. I have 20,800,000 results.
I have 3,570,000 results when I searched "what causes global warming for kids or animals?"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+causes+global+warming+for+kids+or+animals&btnG=Search
Searching with "OR" is bigger. Because I guess that if I use "OR", it might have the possibility to be caught up the keyword.
1. How frequently is the web site updated?
Moreover, do they have clear facts or figure?

• I felt "How frequently is the web site updated?" is the easiest question, so I may be able to keep doing it at least.
In this time, honestly I have no time to deep searching. Because I'm poor at using computer, it took much time to do homework. However if I have enough time, I want to try the other questions of CARDIO.

First, let me address your homework.
返信削除OR gives you more results because the web sites in the results list can have either one term or the other.
With AND, the web site must have both terms in order to show up in your results list.
As for your evaluation, I think you have the right idea, although you do have a good site and you have described one evaluative technique of the three I requested.
As for your question, I was looking for questions about your research question that would enable you to keep researching.
