Document Summary
What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis?// a hypothesis is either a suggested explanation for an observable phenomenon, or a reasoned prediction of a possible causal correlation among multiple phenomena. In science, a theory is a tested, well-substantiated, unifying explanation for a set of verified, proven factors. Crop rotation of winter squash, maize (corn), and climbing beans (typically tepary beans or common beans) (in north american tribes) Think of an example of an untestable hypothesis to describe a natural phenomenon and explain why it is untestable and therefore not science. What is the national academy of sciences and what is their role?// the national academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine. Service to government has become so essential that congress and the white house have issued legislation and executive orders over the years.
