All right say t shmoop er's were on five of

00:04

eleven here and going to just keep hammering down We've

00:06

sent most effectively introduces the writer's discussion of thermal conductivity

00:09

since most effectively restart Air is a more challenging medium

00:14

for transferring heat than water pretty good to me so

00:20

let's think about the paragraph deals with how air and

00:23

water compare in terms of thermal conductivity What it's about

00:28

don't overthink this one The best way to introduce a

00:30

discussion of comparisons is just to make the comparison you

00:34

normally have to get a phd to make that assertion

00:37

like the people who wrote this but that's it well

00:39

making a comparison naturally leads to a further discussion of

00:42

the two things being compared clever However we need to

00:45

be introduced to the overall idea before the supporting evidence

00:49

all that stuff starts getting thrown around that's why it's

00:52

not effective to explain that water is more conductive than

00:55

air before explaining why that's important right Like you're saying

00:59

well i really didn't like your shoes and yes that

01:02

dress really did make you look fat You don't really

01:04

want to go there until you've explained that dating them

01:06

was kind of like the devil or over your unafraid

01:09

they don't do that all right And that's Why shmoop

01:11

doesn't do lifestyle guides to the world just in case

01:14

you're wondering so while it's true that aaron water both

01:16

transfer heat right there That information alone does not fit

01:20

with the flow of the paragraph since the first sentence

01:22

sets us up for a comparison And finally yes it

01:26

may be true that water is a better medium than

01:28

aaron transferring things and conduct sting noises and electricity and

01:32

stuff well in certain cases that's True but this sentence

01:34

is not specific enough to provide support for that claim

01:38

So don't change It airs a more challenging medium for

01:41

transferring heat than water and that's it So yeah we're

01:44

done and we're going to let the whole date thing 00:01:47.574 --> [endTime] go into the sunset
