Fact Monster Hunt (2-6th Grades) 
Download and print to complete exercise.
This is a great activity to encourage students to use factmonster to find information. This is great practice for Internet research as well as reading comprehension. Don't forget the important rules of research: search for key words (1-3 words), spell your words correctly (and put spaces in between your words), read the previews to the page, pay attention to the source (encyclopedia, dictionary, atlas... which one would answer your question better?)
