Question
Chapter 1.1, Problem 2SSC
To determine
To Explain: The difference between a hypothesis and a scientific theory.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A scientific method is a way to obtain an understanding of a natural phenomenon. This involves the formation of a question, a hypothesis and a testing method. A hypothesis is the second step of a scientific method. After a question is formed, a hypothesis is formulated. It is an idea to explain the observed phenomenon. For testing the hypothesis, an experiment is designed and
A hypothesis can be tested in three ways which are as follows:
1. Experimentation- Design an experiment to test the possible explanation.
2. Observation- By just observing and analyzing the sample.
3. Investigation- It is a simple form of experimentation where information is collected and analyzed.
