ABSTRACT
When we think about experiments, we typically imagine people in labs wearing white coats and tinkering with flammable liquids and chemicals. We all have images of such experiments. We have seen them in movies and television, and maybe even conducted a few experiments in a physics or chemistry class. The purpose of such experiments is to test the effects of one or more variables on another variable (when you mix chemical X with chemical Y, what happens?). While such experiments typify the “average” science experiment, they are not the only kinds of experiment on the block.
