    Scientific knowledge progresses from observations to hypotheses to theories to laws. Observations are facts gathered through experiments and investigations, which then lead to hypotheses or explanatory models. If hypotheses are supported through many further observations and experiments, they can develop into scientific theories. Theories that have been widely confirmed and are strongly supported become scientific laws.
