Across
- 1. made up of more than one cell
- 4. an expert analysis of experimental results, completed to allow for other scientists to look for flaws, re-test results, and evaluate validity of the results
- 5. all other variables that are kept the same in a controlled experiment
- 6. using senses to collect information about your surroundings
- 10. in a scientific experiment, group where independent variable is altered
- 11. the variable that changes in response to the independent variable (can have several)
- 12. universal genetic code found in all living organisms (deoxyribonucleic acid), and is responsible for determining the traits of that organism
- 17. groups of cells that work together (same job)
- 19. group of tissues that work together
- 21. reproduction in which a single parent produces offspring, identical to the parent and each other
- 24. Series of steps that scientists follow to approach research
- 25. a well-tested explanation unifies a broad range of observations
- 26. cells can develop in different ways to have different features to help them carry out a special task to help the organism function
- 27. Organized way of gathering and analyzing evidence about the natural world
- 29. logical interpretation based on what scientists already know
Down
- 2. a trait that an organism has that allows for it to survive and reproduce at a greater rate
