This is the osbervatory stage or the 'observation'
A scientific theory is an accepted and universally true explanation of observed facts that is based on evidence, tested through experimentation, and widely accepted by the scientific community.
A Guess...!
It means you are using your opinions instead of just all facts.
In science, a logical explanation for observed facts is called a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a testable statement that provides a potential explanation for a phenomenon. It can be supported or refuted through experimentation and observation, forming the basis for further scientific investigation. If repeatedly validated, a hypothesis may contribute to the development of a theory.
A statement that explains how and why specific facts are related is called a hypothesis. A hypothesis provides a testable explanation for observations and helps guide research by predicting relationships between variables. It serves as a foundational element in the scientific method, allowing researchers to explore and validate theories through experimentation and analysis.
test
In the general, every day sense of the word a theory is a supposition, a hunch or a speculation. It is unproven.A Scientific Theory is completely different from an every day theory. A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis that has been supported with repeated testing and with facts that can be observed and/or measured. With that support a hypothesis moves to the next step in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Facts are the framework for the scientific method and a Scientific Theory is supported by facts.
A scientific question is one that can be answered by making observations and gathering evidence; one that can be investigate by scientific inquiry A scientific question is a type of question concerning something that is answerable with a scientific method, explanation or scientific experiment.
A scientific theory is an accepted and universally true explanation of observed facts that is based on evidence, tested through experimentation, and widely accepted by the scientific community.
A Guess...!
A general explanation of a set of observations or facts is typically referred to as a theory or a hypothesis. It is a proposed explanation that can be tested and further refined through scientific methods and research.
science A+
You write down the facts/observation you have and what those. You then come up with an possible explanation for what the facts/observations tell you . Following that you describe what you will do to test the validity of your explanation.
theory
In brief, they use the scientific method, where they find facts by experiment, observation followed by inference.
A method that claims to be scientific involves the use of clear procedures which not only show how the results were achieved, but also clear enough for other researchers to attempt to repeat them and must also have empirical relevance to the world. Empirical relevance involves showing that statements, explanation etc. which are used or derived from this approach can be verified of checked out. A scientific method should be objective and not biased and should not rely on hearsay on unsubstantiated facts. A nonscientific method is not systematic and do not have principles in place that should be adhered to. Tshegofatso Rampatla
theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses
