It is accepted by the scientific community as a law when it has been tested in sufficiently various ways by sufficiently many people and has not been disproved. Or, more simply, it's not AN observation that becomes a law, it's MANY observations. When an experiment can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time, and the same result is achieved this suggests that that is the only result attainable from the experiment. Strictly speaking this doesn't constitute a proof, just a failure to disprove, but if the theory continues to be not disproved then it is accepted.
An observation occurs when you see something happening in nature and examine it. It does not always hold the same pattern if it occurs again. However an observation becomes a scientific law when it has been accepted universally and is absolute and cannot be argued upon. A scientific law can be explained through history and research done on different phenomena. Research cannot be based upon a mere observation which has occurred once whereas it can be based on a scientific law.
Generally speaking, and, dependant on the discipline, the progression usually goes like this; Bright idea, hypothesis, working hypothesis, publication, theorem, theory, then (if ever) 'Law'. Understand, however, most so-called 'laws' operate inside a very restrictive term of reference, since a major experimental effort is always underway trying to either severely limit or totally disprove 'laws'
After an hypothesis becomes a theory proven beyond doubt, it can become a Scientific Law if universally accepted by the scientific community. Some scientific laws, such as Newton's laws of motion and Boyle's Law, have been found to be faulty in some regard and have subsequently been modified.
Experimental confirmation is necessary.
A theory is just an idea of how things work a law is a theory already proven that applies anywhere just depending of the variables used in the law
because i a theory is someones idea of what happend, that is debaitable with many diffrent ideas. but a scientific law is what is it.
One example of scientific law, is The Law Of Gravity.
Scientific law is proven (for the most part) and scientific theory is not proven yet."However scientific law is a law that cannot be broken.
Scientific law means it WILL happen and i don't remeber scientific theroy. Sorry!
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea

the thing that you do that makes something else do something

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 theory is a proposed idea as an explaination to a problem. A scientific law is a tested and experimentally proven idea that can be considered as truth; until experimentally disproven. Newton's law of gravity was law, proven by experimental observations, right up until Einstein developed special relativity and it was experimentally proven. Thus disproving Newton's "law". String theory is an idea that is quite appealing to physicists, but there is no experimental proof to its validity, so it remains as just a theory.
A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.

It's a scientific law
a scientific theory is a well tested explanation for a wide range of observations of experiments in other words is an idea that makes sense.
The scientific law of attraction is more of theory than a law in that there hasn't been much conclusive evidence relating to it. It states that if one action occurs another similar one will meet it. It is often compared or merged with the idea of cause and effect.
