Observation.
Yes.
A phenomenon describes an observed pattern in nature without an attempt to explain its underlying causes.
scientific law
False
The term that describes an observed pattern in nature without any attempt to explain it is "empirical observation." These observations are based on direct experience or experiments and serve as the foundational data that can lead to theories or explanations in scientific inquiry.
A scientific theory. It helps to explain why certain phenomena occur as they do, based on observation, evidence, and experimentation.
The theory is based on replicable evidence. This evidence turns a theory into a fact.
No, a scientific law does not attempt to explain an observed pattern in nature; rather, it describes a consistent and universal relationship that has been observed under specific conditions. Laws summarize the results of repeated experiments and observations, often expressed mathematically, while scientific theories provide explanations for why those patterns occur. In essence, laws tell us what happens, but theories explain how and why it happens.
Yes, a scientific law describes a pattern or relationship that has been observed repeatedly in the natural world. It summarizes a consistent phenomenon that can be used to make predictions and explain how things work.
Observation.
A pattern describes many observations but does not explain them. Patterns may be observed in data or phenomena, but the underlying cause or mechanism behind the pattern is not fully understood.
True. Unlike a scientific theory, a scientific model describes an observed pattern in nature without attempting to explain it.
