Across
- 1. A three-dimensional model that copies the shape or structure of something real, often used to study objects too small or too large to observe easily.
- 4. A simplified representation of a scientific idea, process, or system that helps people understand, explain, or predict how something works.
- 7. A model with few parts that shows the main idea without too much detail.
- 11. A scientific model used to show how diseases spread through populations over time.
- 12. Information collected through observations or experiments, used to support conclusions.
- 16. A digital model run on a computer that mimics real-world processes or systems to test ideas or make predictions.
- 18. The ability to get the same results when an experiment or observation is repeated under the same conditions.
- 19. A model that uses numbers, symbols, or equations to describe a scientific idea or predict how something behaves.
Down
- 2. A model with many parts and details that shows how different parts of a system work together.
- 3. A large-scale model that represents the structure and behaviour of the Universe, such as how planets and galaxies move.
- 5. How well an experiment or model measures what it is supposed to measure.
- 6. Comments and suggestions given by classmates or other scientists to help improve a model, investigation, or explanation.
- 8. A scientific model that predicts changes in weather patterns and climate by simulating how Earth’s systems interact.
- 9. A labelled drawing or visual used to show how something works or is organised.
- 10. The process of improving a model based on new data or evidence to make it more accurate or useful.
- 13. How close a measurement or result is to the true or accepted value.
- 14. Published information such as research articles, papers, or journals that scientists use to share and review ideas.
- 15. A testable statement or idea that can be supported or disproved by scientific evidence.
- 17. A scientific model that shows the structure and behaviour of atoms, including how electrons, protons, and neutrons are arranged.
- 20. A comparison between two things that are similar in some ways, used to explain a scientific idea by relating it to something familiar.
