Answer:

A scientific theory is a set of concepts, a scientific law is a constant and unchanging rule and norm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific theory is a set of concepts, including abstractions of observable phenomena and quantifiable properties, together with rules (scientific laws) that express the relationships between observations of such concepts. An example of this is the theory of relativity.

A scientific law is a scientific proposition that affirms a constant relationship between two or more variables or factors, each of which represents a property or measurement of specific systems. An example of this is Newton's Laws.
