      Hi!
      As a scientist I am always trying to make new things and design new experiments. One of the best ways to do this is to give something a go and see HOW it breaks! Then, try again a different way to see if it works this time. Normally, it doesn’t work in a different way. So I keep experimenting and changing things until the experiment does what I want it to.
      So, yes, things that I invent break all the time! But that is an important process in science.
