Explain what makes something a science ?

Science involves Observation. With out observation then you do not have science. So, if you were studying plants for instance, you would be looking at the plants and drawing conclusions based upon your observations and experiments (and the observation of the experiments). Something that is not scientific is the theories of how this world came about. Neither the evolutionist view or the Creationist view is scientific, no one can observe what happened thousands of years ago. The theories of how this world came about are merely faith based. Atheist put their faith in billions of years and Christians to a higher power. So that would be an example of something that is not scientific.
