In my opinion "how" and "what" cannot be separated. There is no scientist
who can understand "how" until he/she knows something about "what". After
first step in understanding is made the scientist needs to know more
data to understand more "how". This process is developing wider and wider,
deeper and deeper, until all the answers are received, and no data needed
(which never happens). So the process of teaching could be organized
this way: observation >> question >> basic knowledge >> observation with
expectation of result >> dissapointment >> better knowledge >> predictions
>> observation >> satisfaction. The other way is an invitation for invention.
