need help pls !!A group of student scientists wanted to find out about the water in the drinking fountains at school. They wanted to answer this question: What is the quality of the water in the drinking fountains? The students measured the mineral content, the pH, the density and the clarity of the water.

Which of the following best explains the scientists' plans?


The scientists are making observations.


The scientists are conducting an investigation.


The scientists are conducting a controlled experiment.


The scientists are conducting both an investigation and a controlled experiment.

Answer:

The scientists are conducting an investigation.

Explanation:

According to the question, a group of students want to know the quality of water in the drinking fountain and thus they conduct several tests which include checking the mineral content, pH, density and clarity of the water.

The best explanation of the student's plans is that they are conducting an investigation.

An investigation is when a person conducts a test to find out something or to make an obscure thing clearer.

The students are NOT conducting a controlled experiment because their tests were not done in controlled conditions where some variables were changed at a time and others were kept at constant.

desribe the flashback that ponyboy shares with cherry

Read the passage.
Jamal stood at the edge of the track. He pulled his hat brim lower to shade his eyes from the glare of the sun. He watched the crowd. Some
of the parents gazed silently over at the runners who were getting ready to compete. Other parents sat laughing and talking in the bright afternoon
sun. The sun felt good on Jamal's arms. His tee shirt rippled in the warm breeze.
Jamal leaned down to tie his shoes before the big race. As his fingers tugged on the laces, suddenly he could see himself back in Annapolis
in second grade, trying to tie a very small pair of laces. On that morning six years ago, Uncle Bill had showed up at Jamal's school to watch Jamal run
in the May Relay. Jamal had raised his hand in class when the teacher asked, "Who wants to run in the relay race this year?"
For Jamal, that was the most exciting experience in second grade. In bed, on many nights before the May Relay, he had thought about it. He
had tried to imagine how it would feel to run as fast as he could, as fast as the wind, pumping his muscles and propelling his body around the circle
of the track.
Then the day had arrived, the day of the big event. Uncle Bill had whispered in his ear, "Running feels good, Jamal. Lift your knees, focus
your mind, race along that path." Jamal had felt a surge of love for his uncle. "You're the best, Uncle Bill!"
Today, Uncle Bill was far from Jamal's school. No family had come to see Jamal compete on the track today, but the sun warmed his
shoulders and he smiled. "Running feels good, Jamal," he thought to himself. "Lift your knees, focus your mind, race along that path."
How is plot developed in this passage?
O 1. through personal conflict between Jamal and Uncle Bill
2. through comparison of Jamal's and Uncle Bill's outlooks on life
O 3. through resolution of Jamal's ill feelings based on memories of Uncle Bill
4. through flashback to a time when Jamal was inspired by Uncle Bill's coaching
