{{Term|THEORY|The presentation of an idea from a conjectural perspective, which is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena. As a supposition of ideas explaining something based on general principles, a theory helps to examine behavior and phenomena through different lens. A theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality. <ref> [http://wordnet.princeton.edu wordnet.princeton.edu] (23 July 2008), [http://www.amnh.org www.amnh.org] (23 July 2008), [http://www.yukoncollege.yk.ca www.yukoncollege.yk.ca] (23 July 2008), [http://en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org] (23 July 2008); e-Learning Solutions on a Shoestring, Jane Bozarth, 2005 </ref>}}
