Answer to Question 1

Theories are formulated using the scientific method. Observations and data are gathered to test the
problem. Tentative explanations, also called hypotheses, are then formulated to explain the
observations and data. More tests are done and the data are analyzed. If the data show that the
hypothesis is not correct, it is tossed out. If the data all support the hypothesis, there are no significant
data refuting it, and it is accepted by scientists, it becomes a theory.



Answer to Question 2

The scientific method is an orderly, logical approach to understanding our world that involves
gathering and analyzing data about a natural phenomenon, formulating hypotheses to explain the
phenomenon, testing the hypotheses, which, if one survives, is put forth as a theory.
