Let’s Get Googling!
That means they’re telling you to search for something online using Google!
A googol is a real number—a 1 followed by 100 zeros. That’s such a big number it’s hard to imagine!
The people who created Google wanted the name to show just how much information their search engine could find.
Now, Google isn’t just a word—it’s a big part of your world.
Take a closer look!
Google Is a Search Engine
That’s just a fancy way of saying it helps you find things online.
You can type a word, question, or phrase into the Google search box, and it will show you websites, pictures, videos, and news that match what you're looking for.
Google it.
Google it.
Yup—Google it!
