The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.

The end or finish of an event or process.

The power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.

A variable (often denoted by y) whose value depends on that of another.

A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.

A variable (often denoted by x) whose variation does not depend on that of another.

A three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original.

a method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data are gathered, a hypothesis is formulated from these data, and the hypothesis is empirically tested.

Data	Facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.
Hypothesis	A supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
Inference	A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
Observation	The action or process of observing something or someone carefully or in order to gain information.
Constant	Occurring continuously over a period of time.
Evidence	The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
Conclusion	The end or finish of an event or process.
Control	The power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.
Dependent Variable	A variable (often denoted by y) whose value depends on that of another.
Experiment	A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
Independent Variable	A variable (often denoted by x) whose variation does not depend on that of another.
Model	A three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original.
