DEFINITION

• A hypothesis is a tentative explanation that can be tested by further investigation.
• A theory is a well-supported explanation of observations.
• A scientific law is a statement that summarizes the relationship between variables.
• An experiment is a controlled method of testing a hypothesis.

EXPLAINATION

• If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step known as a theory in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Further explained that a scientific theory is the framework for observations and facts. Therefore, once a theory has been tested thoroughly and is accepted, it becomes a scientific law.
