  14. Scientists make observations to learn about and understand the world. Science is how we create knowledge. This process depends both on making careful observations of phenomena and on inventing theories for making sense out of those observations.  Knowledge may change as more observations are made.

  37. September 12, 2016 Einstein is saying that if you have never made a mistake before then you haven’t done anything new.He is saying that doing things wrong and making mistakes isn’t a bad thing, it is simply part of the learning process. In effect he is saying that the only person who has never made a mistake is a person who has never done anything, and that’s no one!!

You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.
