Question

A scientific ( blank) describes what happens, but a scientific (blank) describes for what reason it happens

Answer 1

The correct answer will be-

1. Scientific law

2. Scientific theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific method approaches to answer the scientific questions based on the experiments performed. The answer to these scientific questions and hypothesis can lead to the formation of laws and theories.

A scientific law is a statement which states and predicts the observation of a hypothesis applicable in-universe whereas the scientific theory tries to explain the governing principle after a law like the theory of relativity.

Thus, Scientific law and scientific theory is the correct answer.

Answer 2

I think the first blank pertains to a scientific observation. An observation is any phenomenon that you can describe using your 5 senses. For the second blank, I think that pertains to a scientific interference. It is an educated guess as to explaining why a particular observation happens after due analysis.
