We define the experiment as the moment of scientific investigation in which theories and hypotheses are put into practice in such a way as to observe their results. The experiment, a word from Latin that means 'to put to the test', is precisely the mechanism that is developed to verify, verify or correct the postulates of the hypotheses that have been created.
Normally, when talking about experiments, one tends to think of scientific laboratories as well as chemical tests and tests in which test tubes and test tubes are present. Although this is to a large extent true (since the experiments have largely to do with the hard sciences), it is also possible to carry out other types of experimentation, as happens when the task deals with social, cultural or economic phenomena among others. . In these cases, the experiments will be other types of observations that can be more or less debatable and for which there is no specific answer as there is in natural experiments.
All this proves that the moment of experimentation is not simply something exclusive to some sciences but that, regardless of the type of study to be carried out, the object of study or the purposes of the researchers, experimentation is a central part of the process in your set. The results obtained after experimenting once or repeatedly are those that will allow those responsible to establish new ideas as well as modify them or continue working on them until they find the most perfect version.
To carry out an experiment it is always important to have a prior experimental design or project that establishes, among other things, the main objective of the experimentation, the hypothesis to be confirmed or refuted, the methodology to be followed, the resources to be used, the spaces in which ones to carry out such experimentation and the specific way of interpreting the results.
