How is a pyramid like science?

A pyramid is like the science process because in order to build a pyramid, and for it to stand firmly, there needs to be a method, and team work, just like in scientific experiments. When doing the pyramid experience in class, we needed the entire group to help us with the method, and with the execution of this method. Like in science, the scientific method and the experiment are even more successful when there is more than one pair of eyes making observations and conclusions. If the pyramid is not well constructed, it will fall apart. And in science, this can be observed in scientific theories that have not been well elaborated and proven. Without the proper evidence, the theory falls apart. The second similarity between a pyramid and science, is that as you evolve in the process, it becomes more delicate. In a pyramid, the higher it gets, the more fragile it becomes, and higher the chances of it collapsing. In science, the deeper the study gets, the harder it is to prove, and if the final theory cannot be proven, all the other ones before it will be discredited.
