Question

What is one way scientific theories and scientific laws are similar and one way they are different?

Answer 1

A Scientific Law is a descriptive generalization about how some aspect of the natural world behaves under specified circumstances.

A Scientific Theory is a well substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that incorporates facts, laws, and tested hypotheses.

(from google) 8)

Answer 2

One way they are different is that scientific laws are descriptive. They do not seek to explain phenomena, whereas scientific theories do.

A scientific theory is a general statement intending to explain nature that is confirmed by all available evidence such that it can be used to predict new phenomena. A scientific law is less general and tends to be more mathematical in nature.

Answer 3

This is better: "A law is a theory that has explained a number of observed phenomena, and it has predicted a number of other phenomena which may as yet be unobserved.

In that sense, a law is a theory that has not yet been proven wrong or given rise to any contradictions.

A theory is just a theory until it has been proven true by experiments and observations."

Answer 4

Scientific law cannot be experimentally disproven.
Scientific theory is required to be challenged, to attempt to be disproven. There are no laws in science, only theories.

Answer 11

^lol

Answer 12

noooo in science mija

Answer 13

Oh ok :)

Answer 14

yeah so why are they important

Answer 15

Models allow scientists to study better systems that cannot be studied in real life or that would be too complicated to study. Does that make sense or no
