The terminology "scientific law" has been slowly going out of favor over time as it implies a degree of absolute certainty of knowledge that really does not exist in science. However it has often been used in the past to refer to specific very well verified components of a scientific theory (e.g. Newton's laws, gas laws, Ohm's law). Most modern theories (e.g. relativity, quantum mechanics) have never use the terminology "scientific law".

∙ 12y agoA theory is a hypothesis that has been tested several times. A law is a theory that is more dveloped; it provides enough evidence for it to be generally accepted.

How do scientific theries differ from scientific laws?
Theories are observations held to be true based on their application to observation and proven scientific laws.
Explain how scientific theories differ from scientific laws?
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.
Are scientific laws and scientific theories the same?
No, scientific Laws and scientific theories are not same.Scientific Laws have proofs, they are acceptable by all like Newton's Laws of motion are accepted by allwhere as scientific theories demands proofs, these are not acceptable by all Like Theory by Charles Darwin is not acceptable by all
Theories and scientific laws can be changed if?
There is replicatable data that runs counter to the laws/theories.
How does scientific law differ from theory?
A scintific law is a statement that describes what scientisis expect to happen. A scintififc theory is a well-tested explantion for a range of observations. This answers the question '' How Does Scientific Law Differ From Scientific Theroy?''

How are scientific theories scientific law similar?
Laws are consistent observations and always happen Theories are attempts to explain why certain laws are true.
How are scientific theories and scientific laws useful to scientist?
Scientists make use of theories in order to gain further scientific knowledge
Why don't theories become law?
Theories never become laws. Theories explain facts and scientific observations; laws describe the behavior of an object in nature. A scientific law explains what will happen, but it doesn't explain why. Theories explain why.
Do Scientific theories and scientific laws both describe observed events?
Yes.
Laws differ from theories because laws don't provide what?
Laws differ from theories because laws describe observed patterns in nature or society, based on empirical evidence, while theories provide explanations and interpretations of these patterns. Laws do not provide the underlying mechanisms or reasons why these patterns exist, which is the function of a theory.

Laws are consistent observations and always happen Theories are attempts to explain why certain laws are true.
How do scientific theories differ froms scientific laws?
A scientific law is a statement that describes what scientists expect to happen every time under a particular set of conditions. Unlike a theory, a scientific law describes an observed pattern without attempting to explain it.
