Across
- 2. type of data involving numerical measurements
- 7. the measure of “correctness” in data and analysis
- 8. properties such as mass, volume, and surface area
- 9. when one factor directly or indirectly produces a change in another
- 13. the logical output of applying the scientific method to observations
- 17. the variable that is the input or potential cause of change
- 19. not causation, but a pattern where two variables seem to change in a pattern together
- 20. a correlation where as one variable increases, the other decreases
- 22. a correlation where both variables increase together
- 23. a separate experiment used as a basis for comparison or significance
- 24. mass divided by volume
Down
- 1. normal form to present a calculation of error, also used in pie charts
- 3. best type of graph for numerical data
- 4. when a group of measurements is clustered together
- 5. the number of independent variables in a good experiment
- 6. used to simplify an experiment, can be a source of experimental error
- 10. source of observation that is qualitative and can be fooled
- 11. also known as facts or evidence
- 12. something about an experiment that does not change
- 13. properties such as chemical composition and density
- 14. not mistakes, it is a natural part of even the best experiments
- 15. one of many abbreviations given to a basic scientific writing framework
- 16. requires inferences to connect to observations in a realistic and plausible manner
- 18. The level of detail in a measurement
- 21. sometimes called the “resulting variable” as the output of an experiment
