8. The cumulative work of many scientists can often be summarized as theories or laws. How is a theory different from a law?
F. A theory is a preliminary scientific explanation that can become a law only when
it gains enough support and matches many observed phenomena.
G. A law is a preliminary scientific explanation that can become a theory only when
it gains enough support and matches many observed phenomena.
H. A theory is a well-supported scientific explanation that makes useful predictions
about phenomena, while a law is a well-supported description of observed
phenomena.
1. A theory is an educated guess that can be tested through scientific observation
and experimentation, while a law is a well-supported scientific explanation that
makes useful predictions about phenomena.
