Basically I think it would be easiest to look at it from this perspective.

There are theories and facts. Facts are truths that can be proven through experience or observation and evaluation. And theories basically are created because a phenomenon exists without an explanation and any verifiable, concrete evidence or proof, or explanation. So some strive to compile a rational strand of proposed occurences in order to try to understand how this phenomenon can exist! It is a deconstruction of something without any facts in an attempt to find a logical explanation for its existence or occurance; but if verifiable evidence or proof cannot be found to support their theory- it cannot be proven to become fact... so it remains just a theory .

Does fact required for a theory?

Theories tend to Remain a Pseudo Fact, until proven otherwise, the theorist, is under no obligation to Prove his Theory, which makes anyone capable of writing a Theory, without using any Facts whatsoever.

Remember if you could prove a theory as Fact, then it would no longer be a Theory, but a Fact.

According to Piaget's theory when a child has gained the understanding that properties such as volume remain the same even if you change the object's form they have developed?

The child has developed the concept of conservation. This is an important cognitive milestone in Piaget's theory of development and occurs during the concrete operational stage.
