A theory in science is
Select one:
a. an idea - or series of
ideas - developed to explain a
certain natural phenomenon.
Scientists will attempt to prove
it correct and true using models
and good common sense
b. an idea - or series of
ideas - developed to explain a
certain natural phenomenon. It
must be able to predict
outcomes. Scientists will
attempt to falsify it (to disprove
it) by designing experiments to
verify if predictions are
confirmed. A theory will exist as
long as its predictions are
confirmed.
c. an idea - or series of
ideas - developed to explain a
certain natural phenomenon.
Once a theory is built and all
scientists agree it to be true, it
will never be changed or
replaced because truth is
unchangeable and
irreplaceable.
