Laws, Hypotheses and Development of Theories The Scientific Method Laws, Hypotheses and Development of Theories

Laws vs. Theories Simple, true, universal, and absolute VS. Explanation based on proven hypothesis, and must be verified many times So What is a Hypothesis? A testable prediction, often implied by a theory. An educated guess.

Scientific Methods Make observations Ask a question Background research Form a hypothesis Test through experimentation Analyze your data Draw conclusion Communicate your results

Some important details… If/then statement for hypothesis Independent variable Dependent variable Control Group Experimental Group
