Down
- 1. the science concerned with describing the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time; it is especially interested in what fundamental mechanisms underlie every phenomenon
- 2. representation of something that is often too difficult (or impossible) to display directly
- 3. a description, using concise language or a mathematical formula, a generalized pattern in nature that is supported by scientific evidence and repeated experiments
- 5. a method that typically begins with an observation and question that the scientist will research; next, the scientist typically performs some research about the topic and then devises a hypothesis; then, the scientist will test the hypothesis by performing an experiment; finally, the scientist analyzes the results of the experiment and draws a conclusion
- 6. an explanation for patterns in nature that is supported by scientific evidence and verified multiple times by various groups of researchers
