Here's a breakdown of which statements apply to scientific theory, scientific law, or both:
1. **Can be modified if new evidence or information arises**: **Scientific Theory**
- Scientific theories can be revised or replaced as new evidence emerges.
2. **Often represented by a mathematical formula**: **Scientific Law**
- Scientific laws, such as the laws of motion or the law of universal gravitation, are typically expressed in mathematical terms.
3. **Explains how a natural phenomenon works**: **Scientific Theory**
- Scientific theories provide explanations for why and how certain phenomena occur.
4. **Describes a relationship that always occurs under specific conditions**: **Scientific Law**
- Scientific laws describe consistent relationships or patterns observed in nature that hold true under specified conditions.
In summary:
- **Can be modified if new evidence or information arises**: Scientific Theory
- **Often represented by a mathematical formula**: Scientific Law
- **Explains how a natural phenomenon works**: Scientific Theory
- **Describes a relationship that always occurs under specific conditions**: Scientific Law
