Theory
A theory is like a bicycle. A bicycle has many different parts. The different parts are similar but different, like the hypotheses in a theory. The parts all work together to make the bicycle. The bicycle itself might change over time. A bike made in 1920 will look different than a bike made today, but it is still a bike. The same is true of theories.
