__//** General Information **//__

An experiment is a procedure that is used to test a hypothesis. It consists of variables and constants. Doing experiments will help the group to come up with an explanation on whether or not their hypothesis was right. When performing an experiment you must follow instructions and wear the proper safety gear. If this is not done, you and your group could be in great danger, as well as people in the room. The safety rules and equipment include: safety googles, an apron, no loose clothing/jewlry, hair should be pull back in a ponytail, and no open toe shoes. Also, when performing an experiment, there should be no horse playing or playing pranks on anyone during the experiment. Make sure you never do an experiment alone. Always have supervision. There is no food or drinks allowed in the labortory as well. Following these rules and regulations will lead to a fun and successful lab experiment. //**__WHAT IT IS NOT__**// -A CONCLUSION -A EXPALNATION -A VISUAL EDITOR -A PREVIEW -A SOURCE -MAKING OBSERVATIONS -MEASUREMENTS -STATING THE PROBLEM -ANALYSING DATA -MAKING A HYPOTHESIS


 * __WHAT IT IS__**

Your experiment tests your hypothesis to determine whether the predicted results are obtained. When testing the experiment it must be a controlled experiment. The scientist must contrast an "experimental group" with a "control group". The two groups are treated alike, except for the variable being tested. Sometimes several experimental gropus may be used. Basically it must be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change only one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same. When doing an experiment, replication is important. You should repeat your experiment several times to make sure that the first results weren't just an accident. By performing an experiment you help test out your hypothesis. The experiment should be developed and follow a particular procedure.

=//**Examples:**//= The student is mixing substances. The students are wearing their safety googles. Being safe is the key to an experiment. This student is also being safe. He is studying the experiment carefully. He does not have on the wrong clothing. He is not horseplaying nor is he wondering around.
