What is a scientific theory? The sentences above help to describe a scientific theory. One sentence is not quite
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Original sentence: When new information does not support a scientific theory, the theory  may be revised or sometimes rejected.  

New changed sentence: <em>When the results of the experiment do not support a hypothesis, the hypothesis must be revised or rejected to state a new scientific theory.</em>

Explanation:

The scientific theory is a conceptual framework used to explain facts or phenomena and to make predictions.

The theory is fundamental to science because it allows scientists to organize and understand observations.

The construction of a theory begins with a hypothesis. The scientist believes that a phenomenon occurs in a certain way, so he/she performs observations under the scientific method to prove that his/her hypothesis is valid or not valid. The systematization of the observations and the empirical data collected might derive from a scientific theory that explains the analyzed phenomenon.

A scientific theory is a knowledge that has been contrasted in several ways.
