Final answer:

Scientific laws describe what happens in nature, while theories aim to explain why phenomena occur.


Explanation:

Scientific laws describe generalized patterns in nature supported by evidence and experiments, often expressed mathematically. They state what happens without explaining why. Theories, on the other hand, explain observed phenomena, are dynamic, less concise, and aim to provide an understanding of why things happen. Laws are more specific, while theories encompass broader aspects of nature.
