7. the application of science to meet human needs and solve problems
8. a scientific explanation supported by a lot of evidence collected over a long period of time
11. a theory that has been tested many times without any contradictions
13. to figure something out from known facts using logical thinking
14. a variable that is kept constant (the same) in an experiment
17. describes evidence that can be seen independently by others if they repeat the same experiment or observation in the same way
19. a professional who uses scientific knowledge to create or improve inventions that solve problems and meet needs
20. a process of learning that begins with a hypothesis and proceeds to prove or change the hypothesis by comparing it with scientific evidence

1. the variable you change in an experiment
2. a group of variables that are related
4. a working model of design that can be tested to see if it works
6. a collection of all that techniques to do an experiment
9. describes evidence that documents only what actually happened as exactly as possible
10. a process used to build and test devices that solve technical problems
12. a process of learning that starts with asking questions and proceeds by seeking the answers to the questions
15. a factor that affects how an experiment works
16. the exact procedure that is followed each time an experiment is repeated
18. each time an experiment is tried
