I think the most important thing I’ve learnt is the scientific technique. Sometimes, you may get results that you don’t expect with an experiment, but you have to accept what those results are telling you, and think a little more about how you can test for the new ideas they have given you.
A lot of the experiments I’ve done have not given me the results I expected, and it’s important that you don’t get too disheartened, as I’ve often found interesting new things to come away with.

The most important thing I have learnt in science is that everything has been created by God waiting to be discovered through research. Nothing is impossible to achieve.

The most important thing I have learnt from science is to base my opinion about the world and all the things in it on evidence – evidence from experiments, evidence from what we can see, touch and measure. This leads to making rational decisions that make sense.

The most important thing I’ve learnt in science is to base my conclusions on facts rather than opinions or intuition. When you plan an experiment, you have a hypothesis or idea of what you want to find out with the experiment. After doing it, the results can confirm your hypothesis or refute it. If so, you have to change you hypothesis or idea according to the evidence of the experiments. You can’t be obstinate and think that you are right if the experiment shows the opposite.
