Across
  1. 1. how close a measured value is to the actual or true value
  2. 5. The number (n) of times a sample is replicated in data collection
  3. 7. How close the repeated measurements of a sample are to one another.
  4. 8. An estimate of how much a measured or calculated value differs from a true value
  5. 9. A variable that is dependant on other factors (specifically dependent on the independent variable)
  6. 12. A theory with no known exception that states that when energy is transformed, the amount of energy remains the same, but its ability to do work diminishes
  7. 16. Any categories, conditions, factors, or traits that differ in the natural world or in experimental situations.
  8. 17. Nonliving
  9. 18. The field of study that looks at interactions among human systems and those found in nature
  10. 20. An estimate of how much a measured or calculated value differs from a true value.
  11. 21. A testable conjecture about how something works
  12. 22. A prediction that there is no difference between the groups or conditions that are being compared.
  13. 24. A hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested and confirmed by multiple groups of researchers and has reached wide acceptance
  14. 25. A particular location on Earth with interacting biotic and abiotic components
Down
  1. 2. The data collection procedure of taking repeated measurements
  2. 3. Using Earth's resources in such a way that does not endanger future generations from engaging in similar activities
  3. 4. A variable that is not dependent on other factors (you the reasearcher manipulates this variable)
  4. 6. A social movement that seeks to protect the environment through lobbying, activism, and education
  5. 10. The process of making general statements from specific facts or information
  6. 11. The field of study that includes environmental science and additional subjects such as environmental policy, economics, literature, and ethics
  7. 12. An objective method to explore the natural world, draw inferences from it, and predict the outcome of certain events, processes, or changes.
  8. 13. The process of applying general statements to specific facts or situations
  9. 14. A theory with no known exception that states that energy is neither created or destroyed but can be transferred from one form to another.
  10. 15. The sum of all the conditions surrounding us that influence life
  11. 19. Living
  12. 23. A natural event that acts as an experimental treatment in an ecosystem.
