Across
- 3. A way of presenting data when one variable is discrete or categoric and the other is continuous.
- 8. A statement that says what you think will happen.
- 10. What you write down to say what you have found out during an investigation.
- 11. Close to the true value of what you are measuring.
- 15. A variable that changes when you change the independent variable.
- 16. When other people carry out an investigation and get similar results to the original investigation
- 20. A result that is very different from the other measurements in a data set.
- 23. An error that causes there to be the same difference between a measurement and the true value each time you measure it.
- 24. A variable you change that changes the dependent variable.
- 26. The difference between the lowest and highest values a variable can have.
- 28. A variable that has values that are words.
- 30. When you repeat measurements in an investigation and get similar results each time
- 32. An experiment or set of experiments designed to produce data to answer a scientific question or test a theory.
Down
- 1. A variable that you have to keep the same in an investigation.
- 2. The process of looking at data and writing about what you have found out.
- 4. A way of presenting data when one variable is discrete or categoric and the other is continuous.
- 5. A smooth line on a graph that travels through or very close to as many of the points plotted as possible.
- 6. A variable that can only have whole-number values.
- 7. An error that causes there to be a random difference between a measurement and the true value each time you measure it.
