How is the meaning of the theory in science different from the everyday use of the term?
Basically a theory refers to something that has been tested and tested over and over again and looking at the results you can infer that the subject of the theory exists even though you can not directly observe it
What is the difference between a scientific theory and just the common theory?
A scientific theory has been tested repeatedly and is correct for all observed results. A common theory (as used in everyday language) is just a guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory
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.

Why is the term theory in science confused with the word theory as it is sometimes used in everyday language?
People assume that because they are the same word, that they mean the same thing in both contexts - which is not an unfair assumption to someone who is outside the scientific community.
How is a scientific hypothesis from a scientific theory?
Have you heard the word "theory" used in a different way by non scientists in everyday conversation? How is this use of the word different from a scientific theory?

What is a theoretical explanation?
A theoretical explanation is an explanation of some phenomena. The term "theory" as it is used in science is different than the one used in everyday discourse. The everyday term has more in common with a "hypothesis", a theory is just an overarching term for an explanation.
The theory concerned with how people give meaning to their everyday experiences is what?
The theory concerned with how people give meaning to their everyday experiences is called symbolic interactionism. This theory emphasizes how individuals interact with symbols and interpret shared meanings in social interactions to construct their realities. It focuses on the importance of symbols, language, and communication in shaping human behavior and relationships.
Is evolution merely a theory?
"Theory" means something much different in the world of science than it does in everyday use. Evolution is an observed fact. The theory around it is just our current understanding of the specific mechanics of it.
How do you use the particle theory to explain everyday phenomena?
The particle theory states that all matter is made up of tiny particles that are constantly moving. By applying this theory, we can explain everyday phenomena such as the expansion of gases when heated, the process of dissolving sugar in water, and the behavior of solids, liquids, and gases under different conditions. Essentially, the particle theory helps us understand the behavior of matter at a microscopic level.

Is there any use of theory of relativity in day to day life?
Probably not. That's part of what made the theory so stunning-- it seemed so unconnected to our everyday experience of the world. Another way to say this is that the theory is counter-intuitive.

How is the meaning of theory in science different from the every day use of the term?
The everyday use of "theory" implies opinion or generalization such as expressing a "theory" about O.J. Simpson and the murder he was tried for. On the other hand, "theory" in science is the strongest statement that can be made based on years of investigation, lengthy discussion, and a finalization among the overall scientific community. The Theory of Evolution is a scientific example.
