Vs.
Common Meaning: -A guess Scientific meaning: -A possible answer or explanation for a question based on research -Create before the experiment -Test your hypothesis in an experiment to see if it will be supported or rejected -More likely to be rejected than supported
Theory--Common Meaning: -contemplation or speculation. -guess or conjecture. Theory--Scientific Meaning: - set of related hypotheses confirmed to be true many times, and can explain a great amount of data -As close to 100% that we can get in science!!! Ex. Cell theory, gravitational theory
A hypothesis does not turn into a theory if it’s supported
Hypotheses Supported by Experiments to form Cell Theory Each is a hypothesis that was tested and supported • The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in living organisms. • All cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. • Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells. • Cells contain hereditary information (DNA) which is passed from cell to cell during cell division. • All cells are basically the same in chemical composition in organisms of similar species. • All known living things are made up of one or more cells. • Some organisms are made up of only one cell and are known as unicellular organisms. • Others are multi-cellular, composed of a number of cells. • The activity of an organism depends on the total activity of independent cells.
Its just a theory, not a fact!

Hypothesis vs. Theory Hypothesis: A proposed scientific explanation based on observations that can be tested. Theory: An explanation that is supported by reasoning, many observations, many experiments (10’s, 1000’s) and is highly tested. Complete the T chart Similarities Differences
