Levels of Scientific Knowledge

Hypothesis: A possible explanation or answer to a question; testable Ex: A golf ball will travel farther than a bowling ball when the same amount of force is applied.

Scientific THEORIES: A unifying explanation for a broad range of hypotheses and observations that have been supported by testing. Not only explains an observation you've made, but can also predict an observation you may make in the future. Ex: The Big Bang Theory

Scientific Laws: In science, a law is a summary of many experimental results and observations; scientific laws tells you how things work. Laws tell you what happens, not why it happens. Ex: Newton's Law of Universal Gravitational Attraction
