Science Skillz

3. How close a measured value is to the true or accepted value.
9. The group that does not receive the independent variable; it provides a baseline for comparison.
10. The factor purposefully changed or manipulated by the researcher in an experiment.
14. The list of items, chemicals, and equipment required to conduct an investigation.
15. The step-by-step instructions detailing how an experiment is conducted, including materials and procedures.
17. The type of measurement error caused by unpredictable fluctuations that affect results and can be minimized by replication.
18. The process of obtaining a quantitative value for a variable, such as length, mass, or volume.
20. The final judgement or interpretation of experimental data, showing whether the hypothesis was supported.
21. The measured factor in an experiment which is affected by changes to the independent variable.
23. The group in an experiment that receives the treatment or change to the independent variable.

1. An unintended or uncontrolled factor that can affect the dependent variable, making results inaccurate.
2. A forecast of what will happen in an experiment based on knowledge or prior research.
4. The factor kept constant in an experiment, so its effect does not influence the experimental outcomes.
5. An educated, testable prediction statement about how a change in the independent variable will affect the dependent variable.
6. A graphical representation best suited for categorical or discrete data, with separate bars for each category.
7. Data that has been processed, analysed, or presented in a new format, such as averages or graphs.
8. Refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other, showing consistency in the data.
11. Information or data gathered using the senses or scientific instruments during an experiment.
12. The formal acknowledgment or citation of research sources used when communicating scientific findings.
13. A carefully planned procedure to test a hypothesis and collect data.
16. Information or results collected directly by the researcher during an actual experiment or survey.
19. An ordered sequence of steps describing how to carry out the experiment.
22. The recorded results and information collected from an experiment.
