  1. 2. A variable that is not dependent on other factors (you the reasearcher manipulates this variable)
  2. 3. Using Earth's resources in such a way that does not endanger future generations from engaging in similar activities
  3. 5. The field of study that looks at interactions among human systems and those found in nature
  4. 7. A social movement that seeks to protect the environment through lobbying, activism, and education
  5. 8. A theory with no known exception that states that energy is neither created or destroyed but can be transferred from one form to another.
  6. 11. A hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested and confirmed by multiple groups of researchers and has reached wide acceptance
  7. 15. The process of making general statements from specific facts or information

  1. 1. The number of times a sample is replicated in data collection
  2. 4. A theory with no known exception that states that when energy is transformed, the amount of energy remains the same, but its ability to do work diminishes
  3. 6. The sum of all the conditions surrounding us that influence life
  4. 9. An objective method to explore the natural world, draw inferences from it, and predict the outcome of certain events, processes, or changes.
