9. What is a Theory? Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary
A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"
Understanding Science - Berkeley
In science, a broad, natural explanation for a wide range of phenomena. Theories are concise, coherent, systematic, predictive, and broadly applicable, often integrating and generalizing many hypotheses. Theories accepted by the scientific community are generally strongly supported by many different lines of evidence-but theories may be modified or overturned if warranted by new evidence and perspectives.

10. Theories are central to scientific thinking
Theories are overarching explanations that make sense of some aspect of nature, are based on evidence, allow scientists to make valid predictions, and have been tested in many ways.
Theories are supported, modified, or replaced as new evidence appears.
Theories give scientists frameworks within which to work.
