Exploring Search Tools - Search tools vary significantly!  In teams of two, assign a different search tool to each team.  (If you need suggestions on the most commonly used tools, try going here)  Give them time to thoroughly examine the tool and its corresponding HELP files, then have them demonstrate that tool's syntax, advantages, and idiosyncrasies to the rest of the class.  If they do a good job, you'll find that every tool has its own unique features!  They will quickly learn that you might desire to get proficient with several search tools.
