Answer to Question 1

The three goals of science are to describe, predict, and explain. Describing involves carefully observing behavior and then describing it. Prediction allows us to identify the factors that indicate when an event or events will occur. Lastly, explanation involves identifying the causes that determine when and why a behavior occurs.

Answer to Question 2

The principle of falsifiability is the idea that a scientific theory must be stated in such a way that it is possible to refute or disconfirm it. Scientific research must meet the principle of falsifiability, whereas pseudoscience usually falls short of this principle.
