Hey.
I am teaching gen chem for the first time in years (high school). The book says some strange things:
a hypothesis is a prediction with an explanation.
a theory is a how we think things work.
a law is a mathematical model for prediction.
a theory can not become a law.
a data table should only include raw data. it should not include any calculation, not even subtraction of two collected values.
These statements seem to be a bit odd. Am I alone?
Have a good one.
Thanks for your input.
Paul Lulai.
