Author's Claim

Christmas is the best holiday. There are many traditions we get to celebrate at Christmas that I love! One tradition is opening one gift on Christmas Eve. This is unique to my family because not many people do this. Another reason Christmas is the best holiday is because we get to eat a big meal as a family. This means a lot to us because we do not get to see our family very much; they live in different states. These are the reasons why I think that Christmas is the best holiday.

You cannot hear sound in space. I know this because sound must have something to travel through. There are air particles in our atmosphere that are able to carry sound waves from one place to another. Sound can also travel through water. An experiment that would prove that sound travels through air particles would be playing a speaker at a very high volume until it broke a car’s windshield. We saw this experiment on Mystery Science! The vibrations from the sound waves caused the glass in the windshield to bend until they cracked. Without air particles in space, sound waves have nothing to travel through; this is why you cannot hear sound in space. 

What is the author's claim?

• You cannot hear sound in space.

• We saw this experiment on Mystery Science!

• I know this because sound must have something to travel through.

Dogs are much better than cats. Everyone loves pets and there are people who really love dogs and people who really love cats. But, I think dogs are better than cats.

This is why dogs are better than cats.

What is the author's claim?

• Dogs are much better than cats.

• Everyone loves pets and there are people who really love dogs and people who really love cats.

• Cats do not like to play.
