There are several things to be careful about when making an observation. One is to not include any interpretations. For instance, you would observe a honeybee making erratic full body motions while on a web; you would interpret this to mean the honeybee is stuck to the web and is trying to detact itself.
Another is to not generalize the observation. For instance, you would observe a sunset to consist of tones of red, orange and yellow; you would generalize this to say all sunsets are red, orange and yellow.
A third is to not project yourself onto the observation. For instance, you would observe three adolescent boys bouncing a Basketball between them and a fourth adolescent boy sitting on a bench off to the side. You would personalize this by saying the three boys are excluding the fourth boy from a game of basketball.

What did Aristotle fail to recognize about the rules of nature for objects on earth?
He failed to recognize that pure logic could not always bring him to correct conclusions. One example of this was his conclusion that one object twice as massive as another object would fall to the ground in half the time. This seemed logical to him and frankly it also seems intuitively reasonable to us today, particularly if we are not in on the truth. This is complicated a little by questions of air resistance and by the shape and density of the objects, but all things being equal careful observation by Galileo proved Aristotle wrong.
