Across
  1. 2. The second step in the cycle of scientific enterprise; putting an experiment to the test
  2. 3. Cartography can be this because maps must accurately represent real-life locations
  3. 10. Observing changes about Earth and its environment from a distance
  4. 11. The projection used to make maps of the poles; this will distort everything not at the poles
  5. 13. The fourth step in the cycle of scientific enterprise; only done if the results are not what we expected
  6. 14. This is measured either east or west of the prime meridian between the angles 0-180
  7. 15. run/rise x 100
  8. 17. The projection used to make maps of specific continents or countries; this will become more distorted the further away from the location we get
  9. 18. Closed loops on a topographic map that are used to show elevation
  10. 20. This is measured either north or south of the equator between the angles of 0-90
  11. 21. A statement based on evidence that is true as far as we know
  12. 22. A key; tells us the symbols on the map and what they represent
  13. 24. The fifth step in the cycle of scientific enterprise; a model of the natural world
  14. 25. A ratio between a measurement on a map and a distance in real life; makes maps smaller and easier to use
  15. 26. The tools of science
Down
  1. 1. The variable that the scientist will observe changes in
  2. 4. An old sailing technique used to find a location based on where a ship left from, its speed, and how long it had travelled for
  3. 5. The first step in the cycle of scientific enterprise; what we expect to happen based on evidence
  4. 6. The projection used to make maps of the whole globe; this will make some countries bigger than they should be
  5. 7. The variable changed by the scientist
  6. 8. Earth's shape
  7. 9. These are used to help represent 3-D Earth on a 2-D map
  8. 12. Tells us how much elevation is between contour lines
  9. 16. Cartography can be this because maps have to be drawn well
  10. 19. rise/run
  11. 23. The third step in the cycle of scientific enterprise; determines if the hypothesis is supported or not
  12. 27. The kinds of changes remote sensing observes
