You don't even know what science is. Read the story of Gregor Mendel. He is considered the discoverer of genetic inheritance. Imagine spending years of your life growing peas, patiently recording which plants you crossed and the colors of the flowers they produced. And nobody even notices until a long time after you are dead. That is science.
You mention chemistry: you have to take chemistry classes for two years before they will try to teach you any actual chemistry, and even then it's not much. And even though it's not much it takes a terrific amount of homework to learn it. If your experiments don't come out right they don't try to help you figure out what's wrong because you are supposed to do experiments perfectly all by yourself.
Being a scientist is lonely. I think what you are trying to say is you want to make things. Go to http://makezine.com/ or http://instructables.com/ and see what you can find.
