possible explanation for a natural event

Question 20

Model

Answer 21

representation of an actual object

Data

Answer 22

results of an experiment

TRUE. Any number of factors may severely effect the results or the ability to conduct the experiment, and therefore will sometimes need to be changed or discarded.
