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.

What is the test to answer scientific questions called?
The test to answer scientific questions is called an experiment. It involves setting up controlled conditions to observe and analyze the relationship between variables in order to draw conclusions or test hypotheses.
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.
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.
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 are the roles of theory and experiment or observation in science?
Science is about establishing facts and definite knowledge. The tools appropriate for this are experiment, measurement, and observation.A theory or an hypothesis are methods of analyzing or organizing thought on the subject, but are not the result itself.Unfortunately, the distinctions between these important words have been blurred by the careless.
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 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 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 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 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.
What is new idea that is tested in a scientific experiment is known as?
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
