Nice and concise.

Then scientists take that explanation and "predict" how other experiments will turn out if this explanation "holds water". If that explanation can be used to predict the outcome of other experiments, and a better (one that makes even more accurate predictions possible) explanation hasn't been offered, that explanation will stand as the "best" explanation we have currently.
It's all about trying to understand.
