Across
- 2. amount of space an object takes up
- 5. an explaination about an observation that can be tested by scientific explanation
- 7. how close a measurement is to an accepted or true value
- 8. describes a pattern or an event in nature that is always true
- 11. to study how change in the independent variable changes dependent variable
- 12. a logical explanation of an observation that is drawn from prior knowledge or experience
- 15. data that uses measurements and numbers
- 19. a description of how similar or close measurements are to each other
- 20. an interpretation of an observation
- 22. includes measurements or data collected through direct observation or experimentation
- 25. factors an experiment that remain the same
- 26. a spoken or written summary of observations
- 27. variable the variable that you want to test
- 28. a statement of what will happen next in a sequence of events
