Across
- 4. an instrument used to measure volume of a liquid and a solid via water displacement
- 7. a graph used to describe continuous data that is divided into intervals. No independent or dependent variables.
- 8. an easier way to write numbers that are very large or very small
- 11. the thing in the experiment that changes as a result of the independent variable
- 13. the prefix that means 1 billionth
- 14. makes it easy to analyze and report data to other people
- 16. observations that describe the change in precise measurements
- 17. the level of the independent variable that is the standard of comparison for the results
Down
- 1. observations that describe qualities that can be observed with our 5 senses
- 2. The measurement system that is used by all scientists
- 3. a very specific prediction about the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Written in "if...then form"
- 5. the part of the experiment that the experimenter intentionally changes
- 6. used to compare parts of a whole described by ratios, percents, or fractions
- 9. an instrument used to measure mass
- 10. number of concepts in the nature of science
- 12. the concepts that govern the way scientists develop explanations about the natural world
- 15. factors in an experiment that remain unchanged so that the experimenter only sees the effect of the independent variable
