Question

1. correct this statement to make it true: scientific laws explain how and why something occurs on a scientific level.

Explanation:

Scientific laws describe how a natural phenomenon occurs (the pattern or regularity), while scientific theories explain how and why. So we replace "Scientific laws" with "Scientific theories" or adjust the statement to reflect what laws do. A correct version: "Scientific laws describe how something occurs on a scientific level (while scientific theories explain how and why)." Or more directly, correct the statement to: "Scientific theories explain how and why something occurs on a scientific level." (Since laws state the what/happens, theories explain the how/why).

Answer:

Scientific theories explain how and why something occurs on a scientific level. (Or alternatively, if keeping "laws" and adjusting the action: "Scientific laws describe how something occurs on a scientific level" as laws don't explain why, they describe the consistent pattern of occurrence.)
