2. Scientific method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

   The iterative cycle inherent in this step-by-step method goes from point 3 to 6 and back to 3 again. While this schema outlines a typical hypothesis/testing method, [ 51 ] many philosophers, historians, and sociologists of science, including Paul Feyerabend , [ h ] claim that such descriptions of scientific method have little relation to the ...

   Discovery of electromagnetic induction (1831): Michael Faraday discovers magnetic induction in an experiment with a closed ring of soft iron, with two windings of wire. Joule's experiment (1834):James Prescott Joule demonstrates the mechanical equivalent of heat, an important step in the development of thermodynamics.

4. Experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiment

   Experiments might be categorized according to a number of dimensions, depending upon professional norms and standards in different fields of study. In some disciplines (e.g., psychology or political science), a 'true experiment' is a method of social research in which there are two kinds of variables.

5. Scientific control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control

   A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables). [1] This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.

6. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

   The use of a sequence of experiments, where the design of each may depend on the results of previous experiments, including the possible decision to stop experimenting, is within the scope of sequential analysis, a field that was pioneered [12] by Abraham Wald in the context of sequential tests of statistical hypotheses. [13]
