This is a law.

Step-by-step explanation:

Classify the following statement as a prediction, observation, theory, or law. Please be sure to classify the statement exactly as it is written!

Oppositely charged objects are attracted to each other.

It is known that when 2 objects have different charges they attract eachother - this has been proven by science and experience. It is NOT a prediction because it is not something said before they experienced it. It can be an observation but science has proven this. It is NOT a theory because it has been proven - a theory is a before statement that may be true but hasn't been tested.
