Scientific law
A rule that describes what happens in nature. Scientific law. A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes an aspect of the world.
Technology
The use of scientific observations to solve practical problems. Technology. Technology is using science to create tools that make our lives easier.
Theory
Explanation of observations supported by evidence. Theory. In science, a theory is a well-tested idea that explains how or why something happens, based on evidence.
Variable
The factor that can change in an experiment. Variable. In science, a variable is anything that can be changed or controlled in an experiment to see its effects.
Volume
