When scientists explain how something in nature works after extensive observation, they develop a scientific theory. This theory is a well-substantiated explanation that is based on a body of evidence gathered through experimentation and observation. It helps to unify and interpret various facts and phenomena, providing a framework for further research and understanding.
Scientists read and communicate with each other to gather information.
Forming a hypothesis - to explain the observation.

An observation.
A theory models or explains why something is the way it is or how something works. If at some point a scientist find this theory to be inadequate (doesn't fully explain/describe it) due to recent research he/she may have done the theory will need to be modified to include the latest discoveries.
An observation is something you have SEEN, an inference is a logical conclusion drawn to EXPLAIN something you have seen/noticed..
Scientists read and communicate with each other to gather information.
They make it so as to explain or study something that cannot be seen with the human eye or something abstract, which needs models to help explain.

The first known scientist in history is often considered to be Thales of Miletus, a Greek philosopher who lived around 624-546 BC. Thales is known for his contributions to early natural philosophy and for seeking to explain the natural world through reason and observation.
If a hypothesis does not explain an observation, it may be rejected as a valid explanation for that particular phenomenon. Scientists typically revise or discard hypotheses that fail to account for observed data in order to develop more accurate models and theories. This iterative process helps refine our understanding of the natural world.
