What Is Information?
Information Is Everywhere!
Information is anything that tells us something. When you read a book, watch a video, or ask a question, you are getting information. Information helps us learn, make decisions, and understand the world.
This morning, how did you know what the weather was like? Maybe you looked outside, checked a weather app, or heard it on TV. That was information!
Where Does Information Come From?
- Books and magazines
- Websites and apps
- Teachers, parents, and friends
- Signs and labels
- TV, radio, and podcasts
- Your own experiences and observations
Even a stop sign gives you information — it tells you to stop your car or bike for safety!
Why Do We Need Information?
We use information every single day. We need it to stay safe, learn new things, make good choices, and help others. A doctor uses information to help sick people get better. A chef uses information (a recipe!) to cook a delicious meal.
