Normal

Evaluating information means checking if what we read or hear is true and trustworthy. To do this, we can ask questions like, "Who wrote this?" and "Is there evidence or facts to support it?" For example, if you read about a new animal discovered in a magazine, you should see if the magazine is reliable, like one that focuses on nature. If it has pictures and facts from scientists, it's more likely to be true!
