To do this, he sprays the chemical on three plants he has in the laboratory. None of the plants survive.

6) The scientist is being unethical.
To determine if a chemical is harmful to crops, it is important to conduct a thorough experiment that includes multiple plants, proper control groups, and rigorous data analysis. In this scenario, the scientist only sprayed the chemical on three plants, which is not a representative sample size. Additionally, none of the plants survived, indicating that the chemical is indeed harmful to crops. Despite these results, the scientist falsely claims that the chemical is not harmful and recommends its use on all fields. This behavior is unethical as it involves manipulating data and providing misleading information.
7) a) an environmental government agency's website
When conducting research, it is important to use reliable sources to obtain accurate and credible information. In this case, an environmental government agency's website would be a reliable source for information on global warming. Government agencies typically base their information on scientific research and provide objective data and analysis. It is important to avoid sources such as popular tabloid magazines or websites that can be edited by anyone, as they may not provide accurate or trustworthy information.
8) d) The student's statement is an opinion.
The student's statement about chocolate-covered donuts being 10 times better than plain, glazed donuts is subjective and based on personal preference. It is not supported by measurable or objective evidence. Therefore, it can be categorized as an opinion rather than a quantitative observation, inference, or prediction.

10) The observation "The squirrel ran in a zigzag pattern" is a qualitative observation.
Qualitative observations describe the qualities or characteristics of something rather than measuring or counting specific quantities. In this case, the observation of the squirrel running in a zigzag pattern describes the trajectory of its movement, which is a qualitative characteristic. The other observations in the list involve specific quantities such as distance traveled, number of stops, and number of rests, making them quantitative observations.
