Q

Criteria of Science (6)

A

Consistent
Observable
Natural

Testable
Tentative

39
Q

The results of observations and/or experiments are reasonably the same when performed and repeated

Criteria of Science (6)

A

Consistent

40
Q

The event or evidence of the event can be observed and explained.
We can see the phenomenon and document them

Criteria of Science (6)

A

Observable

41
Q

A natural cause (a mechanism) must be used to explain

Criteria of Science (6)

A

Natural

42
Q

Specific predictions can be used to make foretell an event. Each prediction can be tested to determine if the prediction is true or false.

Criteria of Science (6)

A

Predictable

43
Q

The event must be testable through the process of science and controlled experimentation

Criteria of Science (6)

A

Testable

44
Q

Scientific theories are subject to revision and correction. Even to the point of the theory being proven wrong. Scientific theories have been modified and will continue to be modified.

Criteria of Science (6)

47
Q

Components of Scientific Method
