LAWS: A scientific principle that stateswhat occurs during a natural event developed from extensive observations and experimentation. Theories vs. LawsCreate a T chart. RIGHT SIDE Theories:An explanation for why natural events occur developed from extensive observations, experimentation, and reasoning.
BILLY PASSED A TEST. SORT THESE as a Law or Theory!RIGHT SIDE • I passed because I studied for two hours and got a good night's sleep. • I got a 94% score, and missed the questions about gravity.
Why! BILLY PASSED A TEST • THEORY: I passed because I studied for two hours and got a good night's sleep. -WHY • LAW: I got a 94% score, and missed the questions about gravity. - WHAT
Guess that Law or Theory Law & Theory Bank: Theories! Laws!
LAWS: What we observe. Law of superposition. Conservation of matter Natural selection Theories vs. LawsCreate a T chart. RIGHT SIDE Theories:WHY things are this way. • Plate tectonics • Cell theory • Evolution
