Mac, Information Detective, introduces the during stage of the research process in which students locate, collect, organize, and interpret their information in order to answer their questions.

Mac introduces them to a new clue: I give you Clue #4: Get ready for . . . Information Exploration! Answers we will find. Information Exploration. I've got FOSSILS on my mind! Accompanying the interactive storybook is an educators' guide featuring lesson plans for reading the story aloud and many extension lesson ideas for teaching the inquiry process as well as vocabulary words, and reproducible worksheets. Lessons are all coordinated to AASL information literacy standards and national content area standards as applicable in language arts and science. Lessons are framed to be collaboratively taught using the skills and expertise of the classroom teacher and teacher librarian.
