Solution

The reliable steps in evaluating the validity of scientific claims are:

  1. Examining the expertise of the researcher(s) who conducted the study
  2. Examining the agency or group that funded the study
  3. Critically thinking about the logic of the claim and whether or not it contradicts established theories

Watching multiple popular media shows to see what information they present is not a reliable step because media shows often simplify or sensationalize scientific information, which can lead to misinterpretation.

Conducting Internet research on your own and examining the top links found on major search engines is also not a reliable step because search engine results can be influenced by many factors and do not necessarily reflect the validity or quality of the scientific claims.
