Biology/Biology Questions?

Question
Hello. How are you? I have a quick question. I am trying to find some helpful websites that will assist me on the similarities and differences between Hypotheses and Theories? I have been scouring the internet for a few hours, and mostly ran up on answers from "Yahoo! Answers."
Additionally, if I wanted to study some things regarding Biology, experiments, and developing an hypothesis, what are some good websites that might help? Thank you!
Dear Ms Wilson
Here's my own web site I use to help my Evolution and Biodiversity students understand the scientific method:

For a far more in-depth tutorial on devising hypotheses and experiments, you might find the first chapter of my online lab manual instructive:

Though my name isn't on the chapter, I am the author. Hope this helps.
Dana

| Comment | For this particular question, she provided some links for me to use for performing research, and they were very helpful. However, when asking another question, I ran into a dead-end when trying to perform research for an assignment, and thought an expert could supply the necessary websites to help. She offended me by stating that I was asking her to do my homework. Additionally, she refused to answer the question, and was very rude! If I was asking her to do my assignment, why would I ask her if she knew some legitimate websites for research, so that I could do my own assignment? She mentions, "I'd love to help you with questions if you're really stuck." Yet, as I stated above, I was stuck, ran into a dead-end, and received no help. | ||
