is the scientific community's best explanation for certain observable facts
Theory: that elementary particles are really tiny supersymmetric strings.
Law: that if you exert a force on something it will exert an equal strength force back on you.
A theory, when proven over time, can become a law. Example: Law of Gravity and Theory of Evolution
A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
One example of scientific law, is The Law Of Gravity.
You're playing with words ... a "law" is just a thumb nail description of a theory.
A scientific law is something that has been proved again and again under experimentation, and is always true. A scientific theory is an educated guess made based off of a group of data that is not proven to be true. For example, Newton's Laws are scientific laws since they have been proven to be always true. The theory of gravity is a scientific theory because gravity itself has not been completely proven to exist.

Scientific laws are actually part of scientific theories. A law is a succinct statement of some scientific principle, often in mathematical form. For example, within Darwin's theory of evolution, we find the law of survival of the fittest.

scientific law is unlike a scientific theory in a sense that its the next step above a scientific theory.A scientific law is one that has been proven, a scientific theory has not been proven yet.
A scientific law is an indisputable fact: there are no observances dictating it. For example, gravity is a scientific law. A scientific theory is simply a generally accepted explanation for a particular phenomenon or idea that cannot currently be proven or disproven. The structure of the atom and evolution are theories.

A scientific law is the description of a recurring event that occurs in nature. A scientific theory is an explanation of the law. The law does not change, but the theory may change when new data indicate that it needs to.
A scientific law states a pattern found in nature and a scientific theory explains that pattern
A law is known to be true. There is no dispute about it. A theory is disputable. Gravity is a law, the Big Bang is a theory.
Mostly semantics. A "law" is a theory that can be expressed mathematically.
A theory explains how something works - a "law" is just a thumb nail description of a theory.
