It does not include the supporting details.  \nAs you read this article, look for the main idea of each paragraph. These can be put together to make a summary of the whole story.  \nIn ancient times, people tried to explain the world around them based on what they saw. They noticed that the Sun came up from one side of the Earth, moved across the sky and went down on the other side. Based on this observation, they believed that the Sun travels around the Earth. Going directly from observation to conclusion is called nonscientific thinking.  \nHere is an example of non-scientific thinking: Imagine that you had a sick stomach, and then you ate a candy bar. An hour later, you observed that you felt much better. You might conclude that it was the candy bar that made you feel better. However, there are other possible explanations for the observation. Maybe you had taken some medicine an hour earlier, and it took a while to work. Maybe enough time had passed, and you would have felt better without eating the candy bar. Nonscientific thinking happens all the time.  \nThe scientific method is a way of thinking that helps you avoid drawing incorrect conclusions. It helps you avoid non-scientific thinking. It reminds you to treat your first conclusion as one of several possible conclusions. It reminds you to gather evidence to support your conclusion.  \nThe five steps in the scientific method begin by questioning an observation and end with a conclusion that is based on evidence.  \nStep 1 in the scientific method is to ask a question about your observation such as,“What makes a sick stomach feel better?”  \nStep 2 is to state a possible answer to the question or a hypothesis such as,“A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better.”  \nStep 3 is to test the hypothesis. You could wait until you have a sick stomach again, eat a candy bar and see what happens. Or, you could ask others if eating candy ever helped them. Figuring out how to test a hypothesis is what makes science challenging.  \nStep 4 is to think about the findings and consider what happened when you tested the hypothesis.  \nStep 5 is to draw a conclusion and share it with the rest of the world.  \nThen answer the questions:  \n1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?  \na. People in ancient times saw that the Sun came up from one side of the Earth, moved across the sky and went down on the other side.  \nb. People in ancient times relied on observations and not scientific methods.  \nc. Going directly from observation to conclusion is called non-scientific thinking.  \n2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?  \na. An hour after eating a candy bar, a sick stomach felt better.  \nb. Non-scientific thinking happens all the time.  \nc. Maybe you would have felt better without eating the candy bar.  \n3. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?  \na. The scientific method is a way of thinking that helps you avoid drawing incorrect conclusions.  \nb. The scientific method reminds you to treat your first conclusion as one of several possible conclusions.  \nc. The scientific method reminds you to gather evidence to support your conclusion.  \n4. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?  \na. The scientific method begins by questioning an observation and ends with a conclusion that is based on evidence.  \nb. The first step in the scientific method is to ask a question about an observation.  \nc. The last step in the scientific method is to draw a conclusion and share it.  \n5. Write a summary of the passage in your own words using the main idea of each paragraph.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\n____________________________________________________________________________  \n____________________________________________________________________________  \n6.
