Because experiments can prove your theories, and if you are not documentating the experiment properly, other scientists might think it's not valid.

Furthermore you are screwing up your theory if you don't make precise data collection, and calculation from your experiment, the theory won't be proved right.

What is a problem statement in research?

A problem statement is often defined, in the experimental procedure, as the problem that one tries to solve with the experiment. You must come up with a problem statement first, which is usually in the format of a question, and then design an experiment with which to go about solving your problem and to test your hypotheses, if you had any. It also has to do with science


What do you do after you formed a hypothesis?

test your hypothesis.


What kind of science is most used to build or design useful technology?

Engineering is the application of science to solve a problem. Technology is the use of science in an object. An example. Problem: I want to see where i am in the dark. An engineer would use the science of electricity and batteries and existing technology of bulbs. The new technology he/she could develop is a torch.


Why is it important to control all variables exempt one?

That is simply not true.There are times when a number of factors can have an effect on the outcome of an experiment but it is not possible to conduct the experiment so that only one factor is allowed to vary while all others are controlled. It is far more efficient - in terms of experimental units - to design the experiment so that the interactions between variable factors can be estimated. Experimental design is the subject that deals with the problem of designing efficient schema for dealing with a number of interacting factors. You may wish to look at "Latin square design" and "Greco-Latin squares" as an introduction to design.

What should a good science experiment involve?

A good science experiment involves a good subject of investigation, that is worth looking into, and a logical design that will produce meaningful results.


What does investigation design mean in a science fair project?

it's basically in other terms "research design". Basically you tell how you are to plan your experiment.

What do you do after you formed a hypothesis?

test your hypothesis.


What is a hyothcsis?

A hypothesis is an educated guess. In science, when you are given a question or if you want to examine something, you first have to question being asked, which is important to define. Then you need to decide what you think the answer is. This is your HYPOTHESIS. After you have it, you design an experiment to test it. Based on that experiment, decide whether or not your hypothesis is supported by your results. Then you can either adjust your hypothesis or figure out new ways to test it. Science marches on!


What is an important part of planning an experiment?

An important part of planning an experiment is defining clear objectives and hypotheses. This helps guide the experiment design, data collection, and analysis to ensure relevant and meaningful results are obtained.

How does the background research helps in the design of an experiment?

Background research helps in the design of an experiment because it provides information that is already known about the experiment.


Divide and conquer what does it mean?
