Unit 2 Lesson 6-"Analyzing Evidence and Evaluating Claims" (Amplify 2,3) Homework- Evaluating Arguments About Energy Transfer. Directions: Read Kalani and Lael's statements below.

Lael's Argument A freeze ray cannot shoot "cold" because cold is not an object, it is a description of an object whose molecules have a small amount of kinetic energy. In order to make something colder, kinetic energy has to be transferred out of it. Energy always transfers from the warmer thing to the colder thing, so you would have to put an even colder thing next to the person you were shooting so the kinetic energy would transfer out. 1. Which argument is more convincing? (circle one) Kalani's argument Lael's argument 2. What makes the argument you chose more convincing than the other? Underline the point where this argument convinced you
