ELI5: In high school, why do teachers make you do projects but give you the determiner "Only 2 of the x resources you use can be from the internet?"

Small backstory, I had to help my niece do a science project for high school. She had to quote sources for a specific physics problem and her solution and how she got there. 

I found all of the sources online in 5 minutes and she got her project done in around an hour. However we then had to spend 4 hours driving to various libraries to "prove" she did not get the sources from the internet. 

TL:DR I got sources for my niece's project from the internet and spent 4 hours driving to various libraries for library reference cards for the books I found online.

Because the teacher wants some way to ensure that students know how to get information from books or other printed materials. 

The internet is a phenomenal resource, but it's important to maintain some small ability to locate information without the internet, like at a library.
