Scientists make observations about the natural world through experiments and try to explain the phenomena that they observe. Scientists then attempt to explain the occurence of all of these observations in an overarching theory. For example, an observation would be seeing an apple fall to the ground and making measurements. The next step would be taking all of these observations which could include things such as the movement of planets and other cosmic bodies to form the theory of gravity which attempts to explain these observations.
