Boolean Operators

Students dozing off? Eyes glazed over? After lunch slump? Put some energy into your class with Human Boolean!

Explain that connecting search terms with AND/OR can have vastly different results in the databases.

In this activity students become the search results!

Examples:

Stand up if you are a college student AND currently taking English course AND Philosophy course

Stand up if you are wearing shorts AND flip-flops

Stand up if you were born in California AND Washington AND Arizona
