Example: If you know a little about birds, planets, and plants, your knowledge is broad.
- Useful
Meaning: The knowledge helps you do things or solve problems.
Example: Knowing how to tie your shoes is useful knowledge because it helps you get ready.
- Basic
Meaning: You know the simple or first things about something.
Example: Knowing the alphabet is basic knowledge for reading and writing.
- Accurate
Meaning: The information you have is correct and true.
Example: If you say the sun rises in the east, that is accurate knowledge.
Quick practice activity
- Pick three things you know about (toys, animals, or a school subject).
