Across
  1. 1. Created by unknown and/or uncontrolled variables or uncertainties
  2. 9. When x doubles, y quadruples (As x increases, y increases at an a faster rate)
  3. 11. how close a series of measured values are to each other.
  4. 14. is the “spread” of numbers of in a number set.
  5. 16. These type of models are 2-dimensional flow chart, diagrams and infographics that show how things work or relate to each other.__________model
  6. 18. When x doubles, y stays the same. (As ex increases, y stays constant)
  7. 19. Caused by condition of the instruments and/or environment. These errors are usually consistent
  8. 20. is the “central” number of a number set
Down
  1. 2. This is the part of an experiment or investigation that you are measuring or recording.__________variable.
  2. 3. is a simplified representation of a phenomenon. Scientists use models to understand, explain, and predict how things work.
  3. 4. These type of models are 3-dimensional and tangible (you can touch and/or hold it) . Examples: A Globe or Solar System. __________model.
  4. 5. aka “gross” errors created by carelessness, ignorance or thoughtlessness
  5. 6. When x doubles, y doubles (As x increases y increases at a constant rate)
  6. 7. These type of models are digital simulations (ex. Weather forecasting, flight simulators)__________model
  7. 8. how close a measured value is to the actual or expected value.
  8. 10. This is the part of an experiment or investigation that you change to see if it has an effect.__________variable.
  9. 12. is the random error that comes from measurement
  10. 13. This is the part of an experiment or investigation that you keep constant.__________variable.
  11. 15. Proportional: when x doubles, y halves. (As x increases, y decreases)
  12. 17. Equations and data that represent a relationship or system.__________model
