Across
  1. 2. type of data involving numerical measurements
  2. 7. the measure of “correctness” in data and analysis
  3. 8. properties such as mass, volume, and surface area
  4. 9. when one factor directly or indirectly produces a change in another
  5. 13. the logical output of applying the scientific method to observations
  6. 17. the variable that is the input or potential cause of change
  7. 19. not causation, but a pattern where two variables seem to change in a pattern together
  8. 20. a correlation where as one variable increases, the other decreases
  9. 22. a correlation where both variables increase together
  10. 23. a separate experiment used as a basis for comparison or significance
  11. 24. mass divided by volume
Down
  1. 1. normal form to present a calculation of error, also used in pie charts
  2. 3. best type of graph for numerical data
  3. 4. when a group of measurements is clustered together
  4. 5. the number of independent variables in a good experiment
  5. 6. used to simplify an experiment, can be a source of experimental error
  6. 10. source of observation that is qualitative and can be fooled
  7. 11. also known as facts or evidence
  8. 12. something about an experiment that does not change
  9. 13. properties such as chemical composition and density
  10. 14. not mistakes, it is a natural part of even the best experiments
  11. 15. one of many abbreviations given to a basic scientific writing framework
  12. 16. requires inferences to connect to observations in a realistic and plausible manner
  13. 18. The level of detail in a measurement
  14. 21. sometimes called the “resulting variable” as the output of an experiment
