What is a Hypothesis?
An educated "guess" based on observations
Explains a single event
Can be created by a single scientist
Can be supported or rejected by one or more experiments
3
What is a Scientific Theory?
An explanation of why something happens
Based on proven hypotheses
Verified many times
Supported and accepted by the scientific community
4
What is a Scientific Law?
A statement of fact
Describes what happens, not why
Generally accepted to be true and universal
Sometimes expressed as a mathematical equation
Cornerstone of scientific discovery (if ever found not true, science based on it would collapse)

Examples

Theory
Theory of evolution (explains why species change over time)
Law
