  1. 3. amount of a resource or service that is available to use
  2. 4. the number of individuals of one type or species in a given area
  3. 6. a well-tested and supported explanation of observations and experimental findings
  4. 8. a resource that takes a very long time to form and can run out
  5. 10. data representing information and concepts without using numbers
  6. 11. a statement made in science that is based on an experiment and backed by data
  7. 12. test results and/or observations that either support or refute a scientific idea
  8. 14. note or record of an occurrence or phenomenon, observed through the senses with or without using tools.
  9. 15. anything an organism, including humans, needs
  10. 16. the different setups or situations in an experiment, including the test and control groups, variables, and constants
  11. 18. all the living and nonliving things with which an organism interacts
  12. 20. facts,figures, and other evidence gathered through experimentation
  13. 21. law a scientific law is a statement that describes an observable occurrence in nature that appears to always be true.
  14. 22. the variable that changes in response to the conditions set in an experiment; what the researcher will measure
  15. 24. conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning
  16. 25. data represented numerically (with numbers)
  17. 26. the variable that is changed on purpose during an experiment; can also be called a treatment, like a new medicine or fertilizer
Down
  1. 1. something that can change
  2. 2. a testable statement that can be supported or disproved using evidence
  3. 3. the use of resources in a way that can be continued without using or destroying the resource
  4. 5. a living thing; an individual animal, plant, or being
  5. 7. a resource that can be replaced naturally in a short amount of time
  6. 9. using a resource until there is not much left, or it can no longer be used
  7. 11. group a group that does not get the treatment being tested and is compared with the test group to see if the treatment makes a difference
  8. 13. variables that are kept the same during an experiment so that only the effect of the independent variable is tested
  9. 15. the ability to understand and recognize scientific concepts, processes, applications, and the scientific method to pursue knowledge
  10. 17. amount of a resource or service that people will buy and how much they are willing to pay
  11. 19. a series of trials or tests designed to collect evidence to support or reject a hypothesis
  12. 23. make a judgement about the value of something, or of two things being compared
