conventionally bred foods taste better than genetically modified foods
crows do not fly away more quickly if a human is frowning than if a human is smiling
at sea - level, pure water boils at 100°c
low bone density is associated with an increased risk of bone fractures
e. coli bacteria develop larger colonies at 37°c than at 4°c
people who consent to be test subjects in experiments should sign consent forms

Explanation:

Scientific conclusions are based on evidence - based research and objective data. Subjective conclusions are based on personal opinions or feelings. "At sea - level, pure water boils at 100°C", "Low bone density is associated with an increased risk of bone fractures", "E. coli bacteria develop larger colonies at 37°C than at 4°C" are scientific as they are facts based on research. "Conventionally bred foods taste better than genetically modified foods" is subjective as taste is a personal preference. "Crows do not fly away more quickly if a human is frowning than if a human is smiling" is scientific if based on proper observation and experiment. "People who consent to be test subjects in experiments should sign consent forms" is a procedural statement, not a conclusion in the scientific - subjective sense here.
