What is the difference between hypotheses and theories in science?
Theories are proven true; whereas hypotheses are often falsified. Theories are hypotheses that have been proven to be true anywhere in the universe. Hypotheses are relatively narrow in their scope; whereas theories have broad explanatory power. A theory is a hypothesis that has been supported by at least 10 different experiments. |

Which of the following best describes the scientific method?
If I generate a testable hypothesis, tests and observation will support it. If my observations from a well-designed experiment are accurate, I can expect my results to support my hypothesis. If my hypothesis is supported, then my theory is proven. If my hypothesis is correct, I can expect certain results from a well-designed experiment. |
