HYPOTHESIS VS. THEORY
HYPOTHESIS
- Proposed explanation for a natural phenomenon.
- Educated guess based on previous observations or
experimental studies.
THEORY
- A broad explanation of some aspect of the natural world
that is substantiated by a large body of evidence.
COMMON FEATURES OF EXPERIMENT

- Common and experimental sample
DATA ANALYSIS
- Statistically significant differences
- Apply statistical analyses to determine if the control and
experimental samples are different from each other
