Evolution Discovery Questions

Hello students,

Here are some questions for the day.  Please answer these questions digitally and be ready to provide a copy digitally or by paper.  

1. What is a theory?

2. Give an example of a theory?

3. What is a hypothesis?

4. Give an example of a hypothesis?

5. What is a scientific law?

6. Give an example of a scientific law?

7. How do a theory, hypothesis, and scientific law differ from each other?

8. What part does evidence play in each of these?

  1. 1.A theory is a guess on an event.
    2. An example of a theory is the big bang theory
    3.A hypothesis is an educated guess
    4. An example of a hypothesis is... If i drop an egg, then it will crack and break.
    5.Scientific law is a statement based on repetitive analyzations made on an experiment.
    6.An example of scientific law is gravity.
    7.A theory,hypothesis and scientific law are different because a theory has no proof and is flashing back to the past, hypothesis is foreshadowing the future and also has no evidence ,and a scientific law is observations from an experiment.
    8. Evidence only is needed for scientific law and hypothesis and theory don't necessarily need evidence.

  2. 1. A theory is like an explanation of why things happen.
    2. An example of a theory is like the theory of continental drift.
    3. A hypothesis is like an educated guess.
    4. An example of an hypothesis would be like, those two girls look alike, they must be sisters. ( that's kinda and inference but you get the idea).
    5. A scientific law is like a statement based of scientific observations.
    6.An example of a scientific law is the law of gravity.
    7. A theory, hypothesis, and scientific law are different because a hypothesis is a guess, a theory is a like an explanation, and scientific law i a statement.
    8. The part that evidence plays in each of these is to make a educated guess you have to have education (evidence), to explain something you need something to back you up (evidence), and to make a statement based of observations, well the observations are like evidence.

  3. 1 A theory is a scientific idea or statement.
    2 An example of a theory is the scientist in the lab wanted to test a new theory on energy conservation.
    3 A hypothesis is an educated guess or a guess supported by scientific evidence.
    4 An example of a hypothesis is a group of kids were doing a hypothesis on what would happen if u put baking soda with vinegar.
    5 A scientific law is a statement on something or its physics.
    6 An example of scientific law could be Newton’s law of motion.
    7 A theory is an idea or statement and a hypothesis is a scientific guess supported by evidence, and then scientific law is a way something works and its physics so each of these are all different.
    8 Evidence is a main factor in a hypothesis and scientific law because they all need evidence to be supported and to be valid while a theory can be with or without evidence because it can either be a guess or it can be a way something is like a scientific law.

  4. 1.a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
    2.no new evidence will demonstrate that the Earth does not orbit around the sun
    3.a scientific guess that is testable
    4."The leaf will get droopy if not given water."
    5.a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspects of the universe
    6.Law of gravitational force
    7. hypothesis is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon. A law is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept, according to Kennesaw State University.
    8.They help give background information and proof for each topic.

  5. 1. A theory is you think that something happened but you don't back it up.

    2 An example of a theory is that the dinosaurs were wiped out by a meteor.

    3. A hypothesis is a scientific guess that is backed up by limited evidence.

    4. An example of a hypothesis is If the water faucet is opened, then the amount of water flowing will increase.

    5. A scientific law is something that we follow in like newton laws that are of three.

    6. A scientific law is newtons law of motion

    7. A theory is different from a hypothesis its data provided scientific law is something that we follow, we live by it when we do science.

    8. Evidence plays role in theory we don't have evidence then in hypothesis it has barely any evidence and law is backed up by tons of evidence backing it up like Newtons law of motion.

    1.a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
    2.no new evidence will demonstrate that the Earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the Earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales.
    3.a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
    4.If the water faucet is opened, then the amount of water flowing will increase.
    5.A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspects of the universe.
    6.Gravity is a scientific law.
    7.A hypothesis is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon. A law is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept.
    8.All of these need evidence to be proven or have proof to show a good point to back them up.

  7. 1. A theory is a like a statement or why some things happen.

    2. Einstein's ideas about relativity are an example of the theory of relativity.

    3. A hypothesis is an opinion or an educated guess.

    4. Many scientist have hypothesis in what could have possibly killed the dinosaurs.

    5. A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspects of the universe.

    6. In science their is a scientific law.

    7. In a hypothesis their is something being guessed, in a theory there is something being stated or why some things happened, and the scientific law is observations from an experiment.

    8. Evidence only is needed for scientific law and hypothesis and theory doesn't necessarily need evidence.

  8. 1. a theory is an idea that is supposed to explain a mystery based on the real world.
    2.an example of a theory is the cell theory
    3.a hypothesis is a guess of what you think may happen based on the information you know.
    4.an example of a hypothesis is if i mix baking soda and
    vinegar then it will explode.
    5.A scientific law is a certain way something goes based on repeated observations.
    6.an example of a scientific law is the law of gravity.
    7. a theory, hypothesis, and a scientific law differ from each other because a hypothesis can be proven, a theory cannot be proven and a scientific law is prove.
    8.evidence plays a part in each of these because it supports all of themto prove them right or wrong
