If I understand the question correctly, ALL of them can change...In principal. That is, a scientific law could be proved false, though it is the most tested of theories and least likely to be changed. That is the beauty of science. Nothing is beyond question.

Let's review a layman definition of these terms:

Hypothesis --> Reasonable, but not fully tested, guess to answer a question.

Theory --> A fully tested hypothesis that's been checked by others to a question.

Law --> A theory that's been around a while that no one can find fault with.

Experiment --> Logical process to test a hypothesis...They are changed ALL the time.

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.


When can scientific theory be change?

whenever an experiment fails to confirm the theory it is no longer a theory ... it becomes a hypothesis


Which step of scientific method do you perform after you form a hypothesis?

After forming a hypothesis, the next step in the scientific method is to design and conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis. This involves collecting data and analyzing the results to determine if the hypothesis is supported or refuted.


To test a hypothesis what does a scientist design?

experiment, in the scientific method the hypothesis is tested through experimentation and if confirmed is called a theory :D

What is a theory based on?

A theory is based on a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an estimated or intelligent guess about the outcome of an experiment. A theory is based on what happens during the experiment.


What is tested in an experiment?

A hypothesis is tested by an experiment. A hypothesis is an estimate or guess about an outcome. The experiment proves whether the hypothesis is correct or not correct.


How is the scientific theory developed?

Scientific Method is the key here . The main components of the Scientific method are 1. Observation 2. Gathering information 3. Making Hypothesis ( Hypothesis means making statement that is testable with experiment) 4. Experimentation 5. Prediction If Experiment results agreed with our Hypothesis , then our Hypothesis become the theory . If the same results are repeated by no of persons for a long period of time , Theory become law. Scientists use this method in every aspect of their work


How did your experiment prove or disprove the hypothesis?

That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.


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.
