When a hypothesis is supported by many different experiments it is considered a?
The explanation supported by many experiments is called scientific theory.
A theory is supported by?
A scientific theory is supported by evidence. Without evidence, it is only a hypothesis.
Scientific must be supported by observations and results from many investigations and are not absolute.?
Theories
What word is used to describe a proposed explanation for a wide range of observations and experimental results supported by a wide range of evidence?
A varable.
Compare and contrast a scientific law with a theory using a VENN diagram?
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis. A 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'. As you can see, there is no 'proof' or absolute 'truth' in science. The closest we get are facts, which are indisputable observations. Note, however, if you define proof as arriving at a logical conclusion, based on the evidence, then there is 'proof' in science. I work under the definition that to prove something implies it can never be wrong, which is different. If you're asked to define hypothesis, theory, and law, keep in mind the definitions of proof and of these words can vary slightly depending on the scientific discipline. What is important is to realize they don't all mean the same thing and cannot be used interchangeably.
Which is a scientific explanation of a natural phenomenon supported by many observations and experiment?
Hypothesis
What is a unifying explanation for a range of hypothesis and observations that have been supported by testing?
A scientific theory.
Is a hypothesis firm as a theory?
After making careful observations,scientists construct a hypotesis and a scientific theory is a statement that supported by many scientific observations. so a theory is firm, because a scientific theory is an explanation of a broad range of related phenomena based on repeated testing of a hypothesis

Which phrase best describes a scientific theory?
A scientific theory is the best explanation for a praticular pattern of observations.
Explanation of natural phenomenon supported by a large body of scientific evidence obtained from many different investigations and observations?
A hypothesis or (when more thoroughly examined) a theory.
Is an organized procedure for testing hypothesis?
Is an explanation based on many observations supported by experimental results
What is explanation based on many observations that are supported by experimental results?
scientific theory
What is an explanation based on many observations that are supported by experimental results?
scientific theory
Proposing an explanation for the changing colors of the sky is an example of a what?
Proposing an explanation for the changing colors of the sky is an example of a scientific hypothesis. A hypothesis is a tentative explanation or prediction that can be tested and supported or refuted through scientific investigation and evidence.
What is an unproven statement based on observations?
It is a conjecture, or an hypothesis in the scientific method. An hypothesis supported by experiment can become a theory.
An explanation of a pattern in nature that is supported by observations and results from many investigations?
scientific theory
