The statement that is FALSE is:
**Theories can become laws.**
This statement is misleading because theories and laws serve different purposes in science. A scientific law is a statement that describes a consistent observation (often expressed mathematically), while a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of aspects of the natural world. Theories do not become laws; rather, they remain distinct, with theories explaining why phenomena occur and laws describing how they occur.
