Here are some that I found. Are these right?
1. Guided by natural law
2. Explained by natural law
3. Testable against the empirical world
4. Tentative in it's conclusions
5. Falsifiable.
I am also going to ask this in science.

1 and 2 are only true given a broad enough definition of "natural". 3 is redundant. 4 is inevitable with inductive logic. 5 is debated, and only those in Karl Poppers camp insist it must be the case.
Science means method,pure and simple.

It must be proven according to "scientific method" Many things we don't currently understand may prove to be science later when we have invented tools with which to measure them. At this point in time, an open mind is reasonable. Not knowing is wise.

Science is proved by fact and can be repeated if needed this means every thing from flipping a switch to pooping.

Statement 5 is the only one that is completely correct. It implies Statement 3.

Really the 5th one Falsifiable is all that is important as far as science goes. Science is all about testing predictions.
