Across
- 3. a syringe made of plastic or glass, usually has graduated marks indicating the volume of fluid in the syringe, and is nearly always transparent.
- 5. an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true.
- 6. the ability of a microscope to produce an image of an object at a scale larger (or even smaller) than its actual size.
- 7. a research method that involves measuring and quantifying characteristics of a phenomenon.
- 11. facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.
- 15. a container used to measure volumes of liquid. Normally made of plastic, measuring cylinders have lines up the side to represent the amount of milliliters the cylinder contains and therefore the volume of liquid.

- 9. an instrument used to measure weight very precisely.
- 10. to notice what's going on through your senses
- 12. the variable that is being measured
- 13. an experimental element which is constant and unchanged throughout the course of the investigation.
- 14. a physical and/or mathematical and/or conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes.
- 18. any item, factor, or condition that can be controlled or changed
