Across
- 4. the quality of being hot; high temperature.
- 6. the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
- 7. the energy associated with microscopic forms of energy.
- 8. an instrument measuring atmospheric pressure, used especially in forecasting the weather and determining altitude.
- 9. the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container, especially when great.
- 10. corresponding in size or amount to something else.
- 11. state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof.
- 14. the spreading of something more widely.
- 17. continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
- 19. one which the researcher holds constant (controls) during an experiment.
- 21. the degree of compactness of a substance.
- 23. a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.
- 24. a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.
- 25. the scale of temperature in which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under standard conditions.
- 26. the degree of heat one object has
- 28. the fact of always behaving or occurring in the way expected.
- 29. question the methodological point of departure of scholarly research in both the natural and social sciences.
- 30. the mass of an object or collection of objects never changes, no matter how the parts are rearranged.
Down
- 1. such that one increases in proportion to a decrease in the other
- 2. the way in which a substance, typically a liquid, holds together; thickness or viscosity.
- 3. done without confidence; hesitant.
- 5. the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, which at sea level has a mean value of 101,325 pascals
- 6. the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink
- 12. a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly.
- 13. a proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.
- 15. the ability to take information through visuals
- 16. the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.
- 18. the quality or state of being natural.
- 20. a set of facts that determines if the statement is true or false.
- 22. the lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, at which the motion of particles that constitutes heat would be minimal.
- 27. thinking about something in a logical way
