21) Scientific hypotheses, theories, and laws are all vital to the development of scientific ideas. They are all vital, but they are not
equal. They actually represent different types of ideas, with varying degrees of strength. The strength of a scientific idea is based
in large part on how well it allows us to predict what will happen in certain situations.
Rank the three, beginning with the strongest.

A) Law, Theory, Hypothesis
B) Theory, Law, Hypothesis
C) Theory, Hypothesis, Law
D) Hypothesis, Theory, Law
22) Once a hypothesis is tested and confirmed, and then tested again and confirmed again by many others, it may provide the
basis for, or become a part of, a ____________.
A) scientific law
B) scientific theory
C) scientific community
D) scientific observation
23) A scientific law is something we can use to make a specific, concrete prediction. For example, the law of gravitation states that
masses will attract each other, and you will find that this is always the case.
However, it can also be used to make concrete statements about the properties of an object in the right conditions. For example, if
a material were found that was NOT attracted to other objects with masses, we could say that
A) the material is charged.
B) the material has no mass.
C) the material must be floating.

seafloor spreading?
A) The theory of continental drift was completely abandoned.
B) Seafloor spreading replaced the theory of continental drift.
C) Seafloor spreading was rejected as it did not fit with Wegener's theory.

B)
C)
D)
