Astudent wants to test if a bean plant will grow taller under green light than under sunlight. select from the drop-down menu the correct step of the scientific method that each statement describes. two identical bean plants are grown next to each other. they receive the same amount of water and sunlight. one plant is covered with a green, light-filtering plastic cover, and the other with a clear plastic cover. measurements of the bean plants’ heights are recorded every day for two weeks. the student writes a lab report detailing the experimental procedure and results. the bean plant grown under the green filter will grow taller than the bean plant grown under unfiltered sunlight. green light makes plants grow taller. the measurements show that the plant grown in natural sunlight grew taller than the green-filtered plant. so green light does not make plants grow taller. plants are colored green, so maybe they grow more in green light.

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. how will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases? because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that the washing of hands prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food. because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.
