Step by step

  1. Open "Browser" (the blue globe).
  2. Tap the address bar at the top, type "national parks", then press Enter.
  3. Tap a blue title in the results to open that page.
  4. Back: swipe from the left edge of the screen toward the middle (or press Esc).

These steps are written for SafePhone, a pretend Android-style smartphone in your web browser. On your own smartphone, the buttons and menus may look a little different, but the idea is the same.

Practice it where nothing can break

SafePhone works like a real smartphone, but nothing you do goes anywhere. Try every button, make mistakes and start again.
