PAGES 10–11 Why is zero gravity a problem
for humans? (People lose muscle and bone
strength; heart becomes inefficient.)
PAGE 14 What are some of the benefits of
building space colonies? (Possible response:
Escape disaster on Earth Helpful to have experiments done in zero gravity Learn how
to harvest solar power.)

students what the main idea is (Asteroids

supporting details (Several thousand of them
in solar system Could cause huge explosion
if collided with Earth.) Tell students that they
can think about both the main idea of a sec-tion of text and about the main idea of an entire book Encourage students to continue
