  2. Ask a question about why this is happening

  3. Develop a testable explanation (hypothesis) based on the theory

  4. Make a prediction based on the hypothesis

  5. Experiment and observe to test the prediction

  6. Use the results of the experiment to create new hypothesis and predictions

Law (scientifically)- a statement about something that happens

Gravity equation F=G(m1m2)/r²

  • F= force due to gravity between two masses 

  • M1 and M2 are the two masses

  • G is the gravitational constant

Theory (scientifically)- a detailed explanation of the phenomenon
