In the first part, you will explain what happened to cause the pod to collide with the space station during the missing seconds. We’ve already agreed as a class that Claim 1 best describes what happened, but you’ll need to fully explain this to Dr. Gonzales, using evidence.
In the second part, you will explain the motion of the pod after they regained communication. The second part is focused on comparing the motion of the pod to the space station after the collision. It is an argument because you will be deciding which claim you feel is best supported by the new evidence.
