What is a scientific theory
A scientific theory is a well-supported explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment.
It is NOT a suggestion or guess
Give an example of two scientific theories and explain what they are
Climate Change is well researched and supported by years of data and suggests that human actions has supported the change in climate by promoting global warming.
The Theory of evolution by natural selection, states that organisms change over time as a result of changes inherited from parents that provide it an advantage to living/
