‘The text stated that scientists relied heavily on experiments in a highly controlled artificial environments. This often leads to missing out information because the experiments didn’t reflect real life situations. To truly understand theories and explanations, they need to be looked at in the real context where they were discovered, not in an artificial setting.’
