review it!
select the statement(s) that are true about scientific theories and scientific laws.
scientific theories and scientific laws are well - tested explanations.
a scientific law explains why something in nature behaves in a particular way
scientific theories and scientific laws are based on many observations.
a scientific law describes what happens in nature under certain conditions.
a scientific theory provides an explanation of why something happens

Explanation:

1. Analyze "Scientific theories and scientific laws are well - tested explanations": Scientific theories are well - tested explanations, but scientific laws describe what happens, not always explain why. So this is incorrect.
2. Analyze "A scientific law explains why something in nature behaves in a particular way": Scientific laws describe what happens, while theories explain why. So this is incorrect.
3. Analyze "Scientific theories and scientific laws are based on many observations": Both scientific theories (developed from multiple observations and experiments) and scientific laws (derived from repeated observations) are based on many observations. This is correct.
4. Analyze "A scientific law describes what happens in nature under certain conditions": This is the definition of a scientific law, e.g., Newton's laws of motion describe motion under certain conditions. This is correct.
5. Analyze "A scientific theory provides an explanation of why something happens": For example, the theory of evolution explains why species change over time. This is correct.

Answer:

• Scientific theories and scientific laws are based on many observations.
• A scientific law describes what happens in nature under certain conditions.
• A scientific theory provides an explanation of why something happens.
