Record the data and form a conclusion based on the results.
Form a hypothesisDetermine what variables can be varied that should or should not influence results when varied if the hypothesis is correct and if it is incorrectdesign experiments where those variables can be controlled for, and the results measureddetermine the a statistically valid method for running the experiments while controlling for different variablesrun the experiments, recording the resulting measurements and observationsanalyze the results and compare to the results predicted by the theory.
If an experiment does not confirm his hypothesis, the scientist should report this honestly. Even if the results confirmed the hypothesis, further testing should be done by him or others to gather more data.
Scientists make more mistakes than not. It is part of the business and why they call their work "experiments". As a working scientists you try to keep your basics constant. You control the pH of your solutions, the don't switch suppliers for even basic salts mid-experiment. Most importantly you repeat experiments several times and use statistical analysis to support your conclusions. The goal of scientist is to have his/her results confirmed by repetition by others. If it isn't reproducible than it isn't believable. But wrong conclusions.... Record your mistake in the results and talk about it in the conclusion/examination of data.
Analyze the experiment to decide whether the results were flawed.

they should observe it and pass it on to other scientists

On what grounds do you believe that the experiments and results are currently a secret?
Analyze the experiment to decide whether the results were flawed.
The scientist or student scientist should review the results. Conclusions should be drawn based on the results. Then, the hypothesis is reviewed to make sure the results confirm the hypothesis; if not, revise the hypothesis and rerun the experiment.
Good science is reproducible, meaning that other scientists should be able to conduct the same analysis and get similar results. If scientists try the experiments and get different results, then it often means that the original publishers did something wrong.

The scientific theory should be changed.
Any single observation may or may not be accurate. If you compare observations you can reduce the chance of observational error.
