What is the difference between science experiment and a science project?

Answer 1

A science experiment is when you don't know the outcome ahead of time, and perform tests to figure out the outcome. A science project is when you know what the results are SUPPOSED to be and then try to duplicate them from theory to reality.

Answer 2

The scientific method is the means through which people carry out scientific investigation. Investigation is the process, and the scientific method is the means.

For example, if you want to undergo a scientific investigation of whether Drug A has an effect on a mammal, you do the following steps of the scientific method:

1) establish a control and experiment group, and construct an experiment

2) state a hypothesis (what do you think will happen)

3) conduct the experiment against both groups

4) log your results

5) analyze results

6) draw a conclusion from those results that confirms or refutes your original hypothesis

7) have someone else try to reproduce your results from steps 3 through 6...reproducibility of results is critical in confirming scientific findings

Answer 3

An experiment is one kind of scientific activity, but there are other kinds as well, for example, publication of results, analysis of results, education about science, science conferences, science awards, writing grant proposals, etc.

Answer 4

There is no diffrence. They both mean the same thing.

Answer 5

A science investigation could be conducted the same as an experiment but experiment require independent, dependent and controlled variables.
