The marigold plants shown in this field all have the same parent. Some of the plants are growing in the sun, and some are growing in the shade under the tree. The plants in the sunny area have more flowers than the plants in the shade. Select the statement that BEST complete these explanations. The difference between the two groups of marigolds shows that the number of flowers a marigold produces
is different with different parents.
is inherited.
changes with the environment.
Select the statement that BEST complete these explanations.
A marigold only produces one flower if it ________.
is planted next to other marigolds.
has a parent that produced one flower.
does not receive enough light energy.
Scientists did a study to find out why the number of frogs in a certain area decreased. The scientists found that it was because of chemicals used by local farmers. The farmers argue that they need the chemicals to protect their crops. The residents propose solutions they hope will be good for both the farmers and the frogs. Which proposal is the MOST reasonable?
Introduce a different species of frog to the area.
Expand the size of the farms' fields so more crops can grow.
Set aside an area with pond that is protected from the chemicals.
Put a fence around the farms' fields to keep the chemicals from getting out.
A student is making two models to show different patterns of erosion. The first model will show how running water affects soil and rocks. The second model will show how glaciers affect soil and rocks. The materials available for making the models are listed. Select the check boxes to mark which materials should be used for model of erosion by running water.
A long tray that can be tilted
A pitcher of water
Sand and small pebbles
A large block of ice

9) Students were challenged to build the tallest and strongest tower possible to withstand strong winds. It had to be made out of spaghetti sticks and marshmallows only. Each spaghetti stick cost $0.01, and each marshmallow cost $0.05. The total cost of the tower could not exceed $5.00. When finished, the tower needed to be able to withstand wind from a fan for 40 seconds. Students had 30 minutes to build the structure. The limitations of design are known as design constraints. Select TWO constraints for this design challenge.
the cost of the fan
the height of the tower
the kind of building materials
the time allowed for construction
the number of students available to help
