BASIC ANSWER>! 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 and scientific theory is an attempt to explain a pattern or a rule repeadetly observed in nature".

Can a scientific law be questioned?

Yes, because half of all scientists are liars and should be able to use your brain and question their laws and/or theories.

What roles do models laws and theories play in science?

The processes that scientists use in inquiry include posing questions, developing hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting and interpreting data, drawing conclusions, and communicating ideas and results.


What do scientists use their data for?

Scientists use data to analyze trends, test hypotheses, draw conclusions, and make informed decisions. Data helps scientists understand the natural world, develop theories, and contribute to scientific advancement.


How do scientists use measuring?

Scientist use measuring to determine the effects of an action. They measure the property of the object, process or substance before the action and after. The difference in the two measurements reveals some information which they use to validate hypotheses.


What do scientists use a ruler?

Scientists use a ruler to measure the length or size of objects in their experiments or studies. Rulers provide a standardized unit of measurement, allowing scientists to collect and compare data accurately.


How scientists use observations hypotheses predictions and experiment in scientific investigations?

They use predication and hypothesis to compare with the end results, like comparing past knowledge to new. Observation and experimenting is to test out the hypothesis, to discover new theories or even prove old ones right or wrong.


Why don't all theories become laws?

Scientific theories and laws technically are never true. They are models that scientists create in order to predict outcomes. Since nature has given us no essential axioms everything scientists have done is just a model. For example: When maxwell originally developed his theory he used a set of cogs and wheels to explain electromagnetism. He later realized these were not necessary and dropped them from his formulation. This changes the essence of his theory but both ways delivered the same predictions given a set of data points. Similarly, before Einstein, newtons laws were considered infallable however later we realized that newton's laws only work in certain realms. Even Einstein didn't have the whole story. Dirac later applied his relativistic theories to the quantum field. Currently dirac's theory has the largest realm of applicablity (although it is very difficult to use). However even dirac's theory cannot explain all realms. Therefore theories and laws, since they are not essential to nature and are just models and can be replaced.
