Directions. Read a short passage below then complete the idea of the concept
map by filling out the boxes with correct word/s. After completing the concept map,
answer the guide questions on the space provided.

G
How Theory Develops?
As evidence from numerous investigations builds up, a particular hypothesis
may become so well supported that scientists consider it a theory. That is what
AN
happened with the hypothesis that new organisms come from existing organisms. This
idea is now considered one of the major ideas in science. In science, the word theory
applies to a well- tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.
