- 8. The process of having other scientists evaluate your research for accuracy and validity.
- 12. Using your senses or tools to gather information about the natural world.
- 13. A systematic approach to solving problems and answering questions through observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and analysis.
- 17. Examining data to identify patterns or relationships.

Down
- 1. Numerical information, such as length or temperature, that can be measured.
- 2. A testable prediction or educated guess about how something works.
- 3. Descriptive information, such as color or texture, that does not involve numbers.
- 5. A controlled test designed to investigate a hypothesis.
- 6. The variable that is deliberately changed or manipulated in an experiment.
- 9. Repeating an experiment to confirm results and ensure reliability.
- 10. Factors that are kept the same in all parts of an experiment to ensure a fair test.
- 11. Information collected during an experiment, often in the form of measurements or observations.
- 14. The group in an experiment that does not receive the independent variable; used for comparison.
- 15. A well-tested explanation for a broad range of observations and experimental results.
- 16. The variable that is measured or observed in an experiment.
