The Steps of The Scientific Method Theory: A well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations
-numerous experiments Theory: A well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations -numerous experiments
-numerous experiments -same conclusions Theory: A well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations -numerous experiments -same conclusions
-numerous experiments -same conclusions -hypothesis is well supported Theory: A well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations -numerous experiments -same conclusions -hypothesis is well supported
-numerous experiments -same conclusions -hypothesis is well supported Theory: A well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations -numerous experiments -same conclusions -hypothesis is well supported -becomes dominant view
