More About theory

Long ago, people had ideas about the stars. They made theories to explain what they saw. These ideas grew over time. Some were right, and some were not.

Theories help us every day. They help us know why the sky is blue or how plants grow. We use them in school to learn.

In the future, we will have new theories. Kids like you will think of them! Who knows what we will learn next?
