Across
- 1. a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.
- 5. all variables other than the independent variable are controlled or held constant so they don't influence the dependent variable.
- 7. the quality, condition, or fact of being exact and accurate.
- 9. the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.
- 11. the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
- 14. the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.
- 17. the sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects.
- 19. In a process that is intended to regulate some condition, a quantity or a condition that the control alters to initiate a change in the value of the regulated condition.
- 20. the branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.
- 21. a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
Down
- 2. a structured explanation to explain a group of facts or phenomena in the natural world that often incorporates a scientific hypothesis and scientific laws.
- 3. the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
- 4. a book forming part of a work or series.
- 6. a three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original.
- 8. The variable that might change because of what the scientist changes
- 10. describe phenomena that the scientific community has found to be provably true.
- 12. the quality or state of being correct or precise
- 13. the action or process of observing something or someone carefully or in order to gain
- 15. a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification
- 16. the measurement or extent of something from end to end; the greater of two or the greatest of three dimensions of a body.
- 17. the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.
- 18. the science that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it.
