A theory is an explanation of behavior, while a law is a summary of observed, measurable behavior.
By not doing nothing
A scientific theory is accepted as factual even though it hasn't been proven. A scientific law has been proven as fact.
To distinguish between a theory and a law, you can ask, "Does this concept explain why phenomena occur, or does it simply describe what happens?" A theory provides an explanation based on underlying principles and can evolve with new evidence, while a law describes a consistent relationship observed in nature, typically expressed mathematically.
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.

They're the same thing, but (usually) the "law" has an equation associated with it, while the "theory" is just a (verbal) discription.

A theory is consistent and has known experiment results, but is often refined as new knowledge is found. A law is a mathematical relationship which has been found to be consistently true.
One example of a scientific law is the law of universal gravitation, which describes the force of attraction between two objects based on their masses and the distance between them.
