Part A: Which statement describes a conclusion the student can draw from observations of the terrarium?
Plant roots capture more energy in the evening than in the morning.
Plants use nutrients from the soil to produce energy that helps them grow.
Energy from the sun helps water move from the plants and soil into the air inside the jar.
Water is cycled from the top to the bottom of the jar as the temperature inside the jar increases.
Plants use nutrients from the soil to produce energy that helps them grow.
Part B: Which statement describes evidence from the student's observations that supports the answer to Part A?
The evidence from the student's observations that supports the answer to Part A is: "Plant roots capture more energy in the evening than in the morning."
