Question

explanation of why something happens
example: asteroid impact killed off dinosaurs
explanation or rule
describes what happens under certain conditions
does not explain why
example: universal gravitation
supported by many blank
extensively blank by experiments or investigations
word options: theory, opinions, inquiry, condition, believed, law, observations, tested

Explanation:

1. Left circle (Explanation of WHY): This should be "theory" as theories explain why phenomena occur (like the asteroid impact theory for dinosaur extinction).
2. Right circle (Describes WHAT happens): This is "law" (e.g., universal gravitation law describes what happens with gravity).
3. Overlap - "Supported by many": "observations" (theories and laws are supported by many observations).
4. Overlap - "Extensively... by experiments": "tested" (both are tested extensively).

Answer:

Top Left Box: theory
Top Right Box: law
Middle Overlap Box: observations
Bottom Overlap Box: tested

(For the word boxes:
Left circle label: theory
Right circle label: law
Middle overlap (Supported by many): observations
Bottom overlap (Extensively...): tested)
