A student is writing a research report about space food. Read the source the student found. Tell the two sentences that have information that the student can use in a paragraph about the challenges of making food for astronauts.
Astronauts need to eat well when they are in space. That hasn't always been an easy thing to do! If the food isn't stored right, it will spoil. If it is not packed properly, it will float around the spacecraft. Over the years, space food has gone through many changes and improvements. Today, astronauts choose three meals a day from a large menu. They even enjoy fresh fruit. In the early days of space travel, though, food was a lot less enjoyable. The first space food was mushy and came in tubes, like toothpaste. It kept the astronauts fed, but it was not known for tasting very good!

If it is not packed properly, it will float around the spacecraft.

A student is writing a report about wind energy. The student wrote the following opinion: "The United States should support the use of wind energy." She found a source. Read the source. Tell all of the sentences that support the opinion.
People have been using the wind for energy since ancient times. Sailing ships have been wind powered for centuries. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, farmers in the United States used windmills to pump water. As electricity grew more widely available, people lost interest in wind energy. Now, though, people are taking another look at the importance of wind energy. Compared to other types of energy, wind energy is easily available. It is also clean, unlike other forms of energy that pollute the air. Of course, wind energy can be tricky, because it depends on changing conditions. Still, some countries have managed to use wind to meet a large portion of their power needs.
