Physical Science Ch 1 Modeling Our Orderly World

4. How well a model explains or describes observations.
5. A model, often expressed as a mathematical equation that describes phenomena under certain conditions.
8. The study of matter and energy and the interactions between them.
10. The study of nonliving matter and energy.
11. Data written as descriptions.
14. This principle declares that nature acts the same today as it did yesterday and that we can fully expect it to act the same way tomorrow.
19. Part of scientific inquiry that involves graphing, reasoning, and mathematics.
20. The study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter, as well as changes in matter.
23. mathematical combinations of two or more base units.
24. A workable explanation or description of a phenomenon.
25. An initial, testable explanation of a phenomenon that stimulates and guides the investigation May be in the form of an experiment that addresses the hypothesis.

1. Our view of the world based on the assumptions we have of the world.
2. The SI unit used to measure electric current.
3. Data based on numbers or quantities.
6. Compares a measurement to the accepted or expected value of a measurement.
7. An ongoing, orderly, cyclical approach used to investigate the world.
8. The degree of exactness of the measurements
9. The SI unit for temperature.
