Use the puzzle analogy given in the book to explain the distinction between a hypothesis and a theory.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Using the puzzle analogy, we begin with scattered pieces and “guessing” which pieces fit where. Each attempt to place puzzle pieces together is like an attempt to test a hypothesis. As we start to put the pieces together a pattern emerges similar to how we take the observations we make to develop a theory. In this way, the strategies we use to complete a puzzle are like the hypotheses and theories that researchers state.
