What do you think of this quote?

Do you agree or disagree?  Explain!

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question "How?" but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question "Why?"  --Erwin Chargaff

  1. I agree. You can do an experiment and get how it works, but sometimes you just can't explain a logical reason why.

  2. I agree with this quote. When I finish an experiment, I can say 'how' the experiment did what it did, in our experiment the car rolled down the hill slower with more weight. But it's harder to say 'why' the experiment turned out the way it did.

  3. I agree. When you do an experiment it finds out how things work, but it doesn't really tell you why.

  4. I agree, because you can know HOW something works, but you cant always explain WHY, though there is a WHY not everyone can explain WHY.

  5. I do agree with this quote. Before doing an experiment you always ask "how does this work" or anything like that but, when finishing an experiment you can get a logical answer. Sometimes when you ask why something works or how you cant come up with a good answer.

  7. I agree with this quote. When ever i ask or get asked a question i always ask WHY to see if anyone has an answer but nobody ever does.

  8. I agree with this because it is hard to explain why something works or happens. But how is just explaining the prosses of what is going on and this is easier to find out in an experiment.

  9. I agree. When I ask the question "how" I can usually figure out something to help me find out the answer, but when i ask "why" it takes a lot more effort to get past all the confusion!!

  10. I agree too.that when you finish an experiment it finds out how things work and everything, but then again it doesn't really tell you why.
