Key terms & definitions

A representation of data that creates a false or distorted impression, for example through its scale, labels or visual design.

A misleading or incorrect impression of data caused by the way it is displayed.

A value found from a graph rather than exactly by algebra, so its accuracy is limited by the scale and drawing.

An interface that allows users to interact through visual elements such as windows, icons, menus and a pointer.

A way of interacting with a computer through visual elements such as icons, windows and menus.

A form of carbon with a giant covalent structure consisting of layers of hexagonal rings. Each carbon atom bonds to three others and contributes one delocalised electron.

The set of points representing a function on coordinate axes, usually written in the form $y=f(x)$.

The relationship between distances along a graph axis and the values they represent.

A change to a graph's position or orientation according to a stated rule.

Work directly involving local people and communities, rather than being directed only from national or international leadership.

Local and community-level participation in sport, rather than elite professional competition.

The network of latitude and longitude lines on a map or globe, used to locate places.

The satisfaction or pleasure an audience member gains from using a media product.

Objects placed in a grave with a dead person, which can provide evidence of status and beliefs about life after death.

Objects placed with a burial, which can provide evidence about funerary practices, wealth and the status claimed for the deceased.

The force by which objects with mass pull towards one another.

A region around matter in which another mass experiences a gravitational force.

A region around a mass where another mass experiences a gravitational force.

The force exerted by a gravitational field on each kilogram of mass, measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg).

The force per kilogram acting on an object in a gravitational field, measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg).

The gravitational force on each kilogram of mass at a particular location, measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg).

A non-contact pull between objects that have mass.

An attractive non-contact force between objects with mass.

An attractive interaction between objects with mass.

Energy an object gains when it is raised in a gravitational field.

The energy associated with an object's position in a gravitational field. Raising an object increases the gravitational potential energy of the object–Earth system.

Energy stored by an object because of its height in a gravitational field.

Energy stored by an object because of its height in a gravitational field.

Energy stored because of the positions of objects in a gravitational field, such as an object raised above the ground.

The energy store associated with an object's position in a gravitational field; it increases as the object is raised.
