Eli5 -> Science vs pseudoscience

Hello everyone,
Wanted to know what constitutes a “science” compared to a “pseudoscience.” Also have there been pseudosciences in the past that later became an actual science? Any examples. Thanks.

Science:
F= m x a
Force equals mass, times acceleration.
Meaning object with a mass of M, accelerated to a speed of A will always produce the same force of F.

Pseudoscience:

While examples of pseudoscience can be something like “The healing properties of pyramid energy”.
It can also come from real science achieved with bad or incomplete data.

“Depleted uranium weapons cause cancer” – while toxic if injected DU does not have carcinogenic radiation properties as countless studies have found.
