What is scientific theory?

• scientific study of living things and relies on this process of scientific inquiry

• not only a collection of facts, but also process of understanding the world around us

A group of researchers wants to determine whether the amount of light a plant receives affects its growth. They hypothesize that plants exposed to more light will grow taller compared to those exposed to less light.

What is the independent variable?

• A set of plants that are placed in a location with standard lighting conditions (e.g., regular room light) to observe how they grow without manipulating the light intensity

• The growth of the plants, measured by their height in centimeters after 4 weeks.

• The amount of light the plants receive (in this case, we're testing three levels of light: high, medium, and low)

• Plants placed under a high-intensity light source.

a theory is...

• not only a collection of facts, but also process of understanding the world around us

• a broad explanation for natural environment for years of date over 100's of experiments that is unlikely proven fase. NOT ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

• scientific study of loving things and relies on process of scientific inquiry
