Question

3. In science, a theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. A theory
explains a set of observations or events. It must be verified multiple times by
many different scientists. One scientist cannot create a theory on his or her own.
a) Look back at your hypothesis from question 2. Could this hypothesis become
a theory if you repeated your experiment 100 different times and got the same
results? Can a theory be created by just one person? (2 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A theory cannot be made by one person, no matter how many times they repeat the experiment. Therefore, you repeating the experinment does not make it a theory. The experinment must be repeated by others and get same result as you to confirm it as theory.
