Across
- 6. This is a smooth curve for a set of results, showing the general trend or pattern of the data.
- 7. TEST Only the independent variable has been changed. All the other variables have been controlled (kept the same).
- 8. These are values that cannot have any numerical value, they can only have certain specific values, e.g. shoe size
- 10. Just write down the answer, no explanation is required.
- 11. Does not fit in with the general pattern shown by the other data points
Down
- 1. This is the variable you measure/record. It will change as a result of changing the independent variable.
- 2. This is determined by the scale being used to take the measurement, e.g. mm is better than cm for this
- 3. The values for this variable are changed or selected by the experimenter. You want to see what effect it has on the dependent variable.
- 4. These are values that can have any numerical value, e.g. height, load
- 5. A measurement that is close to the true value. Such measurements have an average that is close to the true value.
- 9. A reason behind an idea must be given using scientific knowledge and concepts.
