An experiment is a set of observations performed in the context of solving a particular problem or question.
In scientific inquiry, an experiment (Latin: ex- periri, "to try out") is a method of investigating causal relationships among variables. An experiment is a cornerstone of the empirical approach to acquiring data about the world and is used in both natural sciences and Social Sciences. An experiment can be used to help solve practical problems and to support or negate theoretical assumptions. To test the hypothesis stated prior to designing and carrying out the experiment. That is, you run experiments to test out a question you have. someone else's Example:
Hypothesis - Eating cake 3 meals a day will make you gain weight.
Experiment - Weigh yourself. Eat cake 3 meals a day for X amount of days. Weigh yourself afterwards.
Conclusion - Eating cake 3 meals a day will/will not make you gain weight.
An answer to your hypothesis supported by your experiment and data from previous experiment's about the same idea
The idea that you are testing or proving/disproving.
Experiment
Mr.Medbourne, Colonel Killigrew, Mr.Gascoigne, Widow Wycherly,and Dr.Heidegger of course are the main characters in Dr.Heideggers Experiment.
A hypothesis is the idea of what the conclusion will be of your experiment.
The main idea of a science experiment could be a question, but the main idea of a paragraph should be a statement. You can generally form a question into a statement to use for your paragraph.
I would love to experiment with that idea.
No, you need to do this. Go into your science book and read what it has on Pasteur. It is only a few paragraphs. Take the main idea of each and you have a summary of his experiment.
The main item of an experiment is called a variable!!
the testing of an idea
A control experiment provides a benchmark against which to compare the results of the main experiment. For example, to know if heating a material changes its resistance, you must be able to compare the results of the heated experiment to a copy in which the material was left unheated.
False
An answer to your hypothesis supported by your experiment and data from previous experiment's about the same idea
The difference is that the stated main idea is there in the text but the implied main idea is what you think the author was trying to convey.

Your hypothesis is the guess you make as to what will happen. A scientist has that idea in mind when he or she makes the experiment to test that hypothesis. They may be right or they may be wrong, but they always have an idea of what's going to happen because that's why they do the experiment in the first place.
Ah, the main idea is like a happy little tree in a painting. The stated main idea is like the big tree in the center that you can see clearly. The unstated main idea is like the smaller trees and bushes around it that support and enhance the big tree, adding depth and beauty to the whole painting. Just remember, every idea, whether stated or unstated, is important and adds to the overall picture.
