the difference between theory and practice
The two terms that we often hear when it comes to science related events are theory and practice. These two terms have their unique meanings and have their own purposes and should not be thought of as one. A theory is a plausible reason for how or why something happens.
Practice is the manner in which something is done. It is generally based on facts as well as theories. Many practices have been around for ages and no clear theory is known to be behind them. The term practice is used across the board and is not related to a certain field of work. The practices in all fields of life change from time to time. Image Courtesy: osha.gov.
