Scientific investigations begin with a tentative explanation called what?

Answer 1

Scientific investigations begin with a hypothesis. This is a prediction based on an idea or theory

A tentative explanation would be a theory that hasn't been thoroughly tested. An explanation is referred to as a theory because it makes predictions about what ought to happen.

A hypothesis, or prediction about what will happen based on the ideas contained in a theory, is the starting point for scientific investigations. Reliability and consistency in the form of accepted theories lead to the acceptance of theories that are eventually accepted as true, while faltering theories are eventually replaced by new theories.
