Physical Science Investigations
Across
- 4. a set of statements that has been tested and widely accepted to be true and can explain a group of facts or phemonema
- 6. the digits of a number that carry meaning compared to its precision
- 8. factors in an experiment you are trying to measure
- 9. the ability to measure the actual value of a quantity being measured
- 11. variable depends on the independent variable
- 15. observations and measurements collected for analysis
- 16. information that can be measured with numbers
- 17. the variable an experimenter changes to test their dependent variable
- 22. a statement based on repeated observations that describes some aspect of the universe. It always applies under the same conditions
- 23. shows how data changes at equal intervals of time
Down

- 2. the method of writing large or small numbers in terms of a decimal multiplied by a power of ten
- 3. the modern metric system of measurement
- 5. information about qualities that cannot actually be measured
- 7. a mathematical system using conversionfactors to move from one unit of measurement to a different unit
- 10. the ability of measurement to be consistently reproduced
- 12. vertical axis where dependent variable is plotted
- 13. teh horizontal axis where independent variable is plotted
- 14. an organized method to investigate a phenomena or test theories
