European Baccalaureate Science, Technology And Society (STS) Practice Questions - European Baccalaureate Science, Technology And Society (STS) Exam

A law is an unproven hypothesis, while a theory is a fully proven principle. A law becomes a theory once it receives mathematical validation from theoretical physicists. A law describes a consistent relationship or pattern in nature, whereas a theory explains why and how it occurs. A law applies exclusively to physics and chemistry, whereas theories apply only to biological sciences.
