lesson 1: What is Science?
| Unit A - Lesson 1 - What is science? |
Why?
Hypothesis vs. Theory vs. Law - What's the diff?
Hypothesis:
Theory:
Law:
- an educated guess, based on observation.
- can be supported or refuted through experimentation or more observation.
- A hypothesis can be disproven, but not proven to be true
Theory:
- is an accepted hypothesis.
- summarizes a hypothesis that has been supported with repeated testing.
- is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it.
Law:
- generalizes a body of observations.
- At the time it is made, no exceptions have been found to a law.
- Scientific laws explain things, but they do not describe them.
- One way to tell a law and a theory apart is to ask if the description gives you a means to explain 'why'.
