Identify and discuss the differences between the terms ‘theories,’ ‘laws,’ and ‘hypotheses.’ Describe ‘controlled conditions

Question

anonymous · Answer

THEORY- A set of principles on which the practice of an activity is based.
LAW      -A statement of fact, deduced from observation, to the effect that a particular natural or scientific phenomenon always occurs if certain conditions are present.
HYPOTHESIS- A proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.
A hypothesis is a untested claim/obersvation....

Example: I think the changes of air pressure in the air lock make my right knee hurt.

Now theory and law are kind a vague, but from my experience,

A law is a claim/observation that has been well established and is usually fundemental in nature or axoimic in terms of mathematics.... 

Eamples: F = ma, conservation of energy, 4 laws of thermodynamics....

A theory is a claim/observation that has been proven or has alot of evidence it might be true. This is the most board group... theroies usually ecompass more fundemental theroies and laws.

Example: String Theory, Relativity,...
 controlled conditions -                                                                                                                          It is as it sounds..conditions that you can control like temperature and pressure... concentration and so on.
