Question

1. what is the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law?

a scientific theory and scientific law are actually the same.
a scientific law states a pattern found in nature and a scientific theory explains that pattern.
a scientific law is the set of observations that explains a scientific theory.
a scientific theory states a pattern found in nature and scientific law explains that pattern.

Explanation:

A scientific law states a pattern found in nature, while a scientific theory explains that pattern. A scientific law is a description of an observed phenomenon (like Newton's law of universal gravitation which describes how objects attract each other), and a scientific theory (like the theory of evolution) explains the underlying mechanisms and reasons for the observed patterns.

Answer:

A scientific law states a pattern found in nature and a scientific theory explains that pattern.
