What are the stages in an experiment?

Answer 1

The basis steps of an experiment are :

1. Defining the phenomenon
2. Forming a hypothesis
3. Designing an experiment
4. Performing and Observing the experiment
5. Analyzing the data
6. Stating and Publishing the Conclusions

Another version of the same steps is :

1) General Question

2) Narrowing Down

3) Designing the Experiment

4) Observation

5) Analysis

6) Conclusion

In some experiments, the analysis may determine that no conclusion is possible. The sixth step would be to try to identify possible flaws in the experimental procedure, so that they might be corrected if the experiment is to be repeated.
