Human beings are nothing if not curious. We always want to know more, learn something new, and play around with what we already know, which we do through experimentation. Everything from non-toxic aquarium gravel to antibiotics to pretzels was discovered by accident as the result of an inquisitive experiment someone was conducting. Will you improve the world with one of your experiments? Here's a brief rundown on how to conduct an experiment properly.

Ask a Question
All experiments begin with a question. You might be wondering if getting dental veneers in Toronto will earn you more hits on your online dating profile, if your grandma's cookie recipe would taste good with low fat ingredients, or whether multivitamins improve your overall health. Choose one question and one question only for each experiment to avoid getting confusing results, and make sure it's something you can test on your own.
Design the Test
Once you've decided on the purpose of your experiment, it's time to design the test. What would be the easiest way to find out the answer? Whether it's baking cookies and asking your friends to taste test them, scrubbing your new tub with the latest cleaner, or using a new discipline method on your kids, make a list of the equipment you need. Is it a hydrovac? Some brown sugar and margarine? Or just a few extra people? Whatever it is, make sure you test only one element at a time and can easily compare it to a norm.
Do Your Trials
Conducting experiments is often quite fun. You might enlist the aid of your co-workers at Catering Toronto with a blind taste test or try and teach your cat to use a toilet. The more trials you do, the more accurate your results will be, so if possible try to do your test several times to confirm the results. If you get different results every time, you may have to think about re-designing your test, as another factor might be interfering.

Analyze the Outcome
Once all your trials are complete it's time to look at what you've learned and determine the answer to your question. Did people like the low fat cookies? Did the upper lip hair removal treatment make you feel better about yourself? Is your cat now toilet trained? If the answer is "no," or even "I don't know," that doesn't mean the experiment was a failure, since you have still learned something.
