Scientific Laws are descriptions of certain phenomenon or class of phenomena of nature which are believed to be universal and invariant in time. And theories are collections of organized ideas, models which attempt to explain observations and relate them to other observations.

Simply put, while a law states that something happens, a theory explains why and how something happens.

Hope, this was somewhat helpful!

Clear Skies!

Edit:

In addition, in science a Hypothesis becomes a theory when data from experiments supports the hypothesis. A theory becomes law after many repeated experiments fail to disprove the theory, and back up the initial findings.
