What else can I help you with?
Is an every day theory and a scientific theory the same?
No. A scientific theory is a proven set of rules describing reality. The "everyday" usage of the word is what a scientist would call a hypothesis, and others would call an unsubstantiated guess.
What do you call an experiment not being tested?
a hypothesis
Which of the following statements is not true of scientific experiments?
variables in an experiment cannot be manipulated by the researcher
Why can a supported hypothesis not be called a theory?
A hypothesis cannot be call a theory because,it has not supported a prediction even in the face of several experiment.
What process is used by scientists to find answers and questions or solve a problem?
An experiment is used by scientists to find answers to questions or solve a problem. Any good experiment starts with a hypothesis. The experiment is then used to prove whether it is true or false.

No. A scientific theory is a proven set of rules describing reality. The "everyday" usage of the word is what a scientist would call a hypothesis, and others would call an unsubstantiated guess.
What do you call hypothesis that has gained a high level of confidence?
A theory. If it has been proven and is replicatable, it is a fact.
Testable and capable of being proven false it is call scientific?
A False Positive.
When a scientific idea is proposed is it a hypothesis or theory?
It begins as a hypothesis, only after it has been thoroughly tested over time can it be called a theory. (Note that what non-scientists call a theory is actually just a hypothesis.)
What do you call a theory that is proven?
A theory that has been confirmed through rigorous testing and observation is typically referred to as a scientific law.
What do you call the statement that determines if the null hypothesis is rejected?
The hypothesis test.
What do you call an untested conclusion?
hypothesis
What is it call when you test your hypothesis?
experiment
what do you call a science statement?
hypothesis
Can scientific laws be used to make predictions?
Ye, definitely, but that would be a hypothesis or educated guess. Another way to call that prediction is inference, since there's a reasonable basis.
What is the difference beween a hypothsis and a theory?
A hypothesis is any idea used to explain and test a scientific idea, while a theory is a hypothesis that has become scientifically accepted. For example, say I hypothesize that rocks in a stream are worn smooth by erosion. This is a hypothesis of sorts. I test this hypothesis by putting rocks in a room and in a stream, and conclude that the stream rocks have been worn smooth. If I complete multiple tests and the scientific community believes in my conclusion, I would call it the Theory of Water Erosion, or something similar.
Why aren't the big bang theory and the steady state theory considered scientific laws?
They can't be proven with 100% scientific certainty. No one was there to witness the big bang, so we can't technically say that it definitely happened. And we wouldn't call the Steady State Theory a law, since it has been seriously discounted in recent decades. It is worth adding that when time honored theories become 'laws' it is not because they have be proven with 100% certainty. It is because they have survived the test of time and the test of many, many scientific challenges. Nothing can really be proven with 100% scientific certainty.
