Question

asifraj is asked to explain the difference between a hypothesis, theory, and scientific law, which are terms used when discussing experiments, research, and scientific methodology. he knows that each term has a distinct meaning, and the terms are not interchangeable. match the descriptive phrases to the correct term.
do not become laws
bortative scientific explanation that can be tested by further observation or by experimentation
well-tested explanation for a range of phenomena
highly reliable scientific explanation of events in the natural world that unifies many repeated observations
concise, specific descriptions of how some aspects of the natural world are expected to behave in a certain situation
may still be useful even when evidence does not support it
ideally a should be tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed
theory
hypothesis
scientific law

Explanation:

• Theory: A well - tested explanation for a range of phenomena. It is a highly reliable scientific explanation of events in the natural world that unifies many repeated observations. Also, it does not become a law.
• Hypothesis: A tentative scientific explanation that can be tested by further observation or by experimentation. Ideally, it should be tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed. It may still be useful even when evidence does not support it (as it can lead to further research).
• Scientific Law: Concise, specific descriptions of how some aspects of the natural world are expected to behave in a certain situation.

Answer:

• Theory: "well - tested explanation for a range of phenomena", "highly reliable scientific explanation of events in the natural world that unifies many repeated observations", "do not become laws"
• Hypothesis: "tentative scientific explanation that can be tested by further observation or by experimentation", "may still be useful even when evidence does not support it", "ideally a should be tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed"
• Scientific Law: "concise, specific descriptions of how some aspects of the natural world are expected to behave in a certain situation"
