No - you can use evidence from an experiment to support a theory, but they are not the same thing.
A theory is an idea as to why something is, how it works, etc. that is strongly supported by evidence.
An experiment is set up in order to gather information to support a theory or to help a hypothesis become a theory.

Why must the parameters of a scientific experiment be controlled?
If the parameters are not controlled in a scientific experiment, then one cannot be sure what the variables are. Unless you conduct the experiment in a closed environment with only only one variable, one's results can be confusing and inconclusive.
What are the three main parts of the scientific process?
have a hypothesis and a controlled experiment and also a conclusion
Which step of scientific method do you perform after you form a hypothesis?
You need to design an experiment to test the validity of the hypothesis.
What is an experiment which only one variable is changed?
It is called a controlled experiment.
What The one factor that differs between a control group and experimental group in a controlled experiment is the?
When a scientific experiment is carried out in a controlled setting, all variables are kept the same except for the control variable. The control variable is something that is constant and unchanged in an experiment, and is held constant to test the relative impact of independent variables.
What describes a reason for making prediction when doing a controlled experiment?
In scientific method the "prediction" is the theory that the scientific test (the experiment) is being conducted to prove (or disprove).

What is a Test of hypothesis under controlled conditions is?
Testing a hypothesis under controlled condition is a scientific experiment.
What is the procedure that tests a hypothesis by collecting information under controlled conditions?
This called an controlled scientific experiment.

What are two types of scientific investigations that scientist use when a controlled experiment is not practical?
When a controlled experiment is not possible or practical, two types of scientific investigations are observation and modeling.
A scientist performs an experiment The results of the experiment disagree with a scientific theory The scientist repeats the experiment several times and gets the same results The scientist then?
The scientific theory should be changed.
What undergoes little modification a hypothesis a theory a experiment or a scientific inquiry?
theory

What is the relationship between hypothesis and scientific theory?
A hypothesis is what you believe will happen when you do an experiment. Scientific theory is when you use the data you have received from an experiment and create an idea that best suits your results. A theory can be related back to your original hypothesis, the experiment can prove whether your hypothesis was right.
What is the difference between popular theory and scientific theory?
Scientific theory can usually be proven by a repeatable experiment. Popular theory is just what the masses and media think.
What is a theory and law?
A scientific Theory is when it tries to explain something in an experiment that happens repededly in nature or the natural world. A scientific law is when there is repeated behavior in an experiment but cannot be explained.
