An experiment is a scientific process that uses the element of discovery and hypothesis to test out a known fact.  A series of actions are executed and then a person observes the outcomes of those actions.  Experiments also give us insight into cause and effect.  The best way to develop an experiment is to come up with a set of questions to test a hypothesis about something.<|im_end|>
