Scientific laws vs. Scientific theories

They ARE directly observed Scientific Law Is a rule of nature. A statement that describes what scientists expect to happen every time under a particular set of conditions without explaining why They ARE directly observed

Newton’s 3 laws of motion Universal law of Gravitation Examples of Laws Newton’s 3 laws of motion Universal law of Gravitation

Scientific Theory A well-tested explanation for a wide range of observations or experimental results. Theories are inferences because they explain scientific phenomena May not be directly observed Can be based on laws
