To be valid, a scientific theory must pass several tests. State three of these tests.

Question

I need to know the types of tests a scientific theory goes through in order to be valid.

Answer 1

• It must have the inherent possibility of being proven wrong (falsifiability). 
• It must be a repeatable phenomenon, consistent with pre-existing theories and experiments.
• Adaptable to new evidence that will increase its predictability over time.

Answer 2

Hi Madison -- my favorite crucial test is "repeatable experimental results" ... Regards :)
