Question

Determine whether the statement is true or false, and why. "If a theory becomes supported by evidence, it can become a law."

Answer 1

Answer: D. False, it should read, "A theory and a law are already both supported by evidence and are equal, but they have different functions."

Explanation:

A  "Theory" and  a'' Law" in scientific method are already both supported by evidence but they have different function,

The function of  " Theory" in scientific method is to give an explanation to the observations and findings gathered during the process. It can be modified, improved or even rejected as more information is being gathered.

While a '' Law '' tends to describe an observed event in nature that is true whenever it is put to test. It does not explain why the occurence or event is true.
