=====Experiments=====
====Experiment 7====

===Question===
What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? State it here.

===Resources===
Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment.

===Hypothesis===
Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment.

State your rationale.

===Experiment===
How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment?

===Data===
Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here.

===Analysis===
Based on the data collected:

  * Was your hypothesis correct?
  * Was your hypothesis not applicable?
  * Is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis)
  * What shortcomings might there be in your experiment?
  * What shortcomings might there be in your data?

===Conclusions===
What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made.

====Retest 3====
Perform the following steps:

===State Experiment===
Whose existing experiment are you going to retest? Provide the URL, note the author, and restate their question.

===Resources===
Evaluate their resources and commentary. Answer the following questions:

  * Do you feel the given resources are adequate in providing sufficient background information?
  * Are there additional resources you've found that you can add to the resources list?
  * Does the original experimenter appear to have obtained a necessary fundamental understanding of the concepts leading up to their stated experiment?
  * If you find a deviation in opinion, state why you think this might exist.

===Hypothesis===
State their experiment's hypothesis. Answer the following questions:

  * Do you feel their hypothesis is adequate in capturing the essence of what they're trying to discover?
  * What improvements could you make to their hypothesis, if any?

===Experiment===
Follow the steps given to recreate the original experiment. Answer the following questions:

  * Are the instructions correct in successfully achieving the results?
  * Is there room for improvement in the experiment instructions/description? What suggestions would you make?
  * Would you make any alterations to the structure of the experiment to yield better results? What, and why?

===Data===
Publish the data you have gained from your performing of the experiment here.

===Analysis===
Answer the following:

  * Does the data seem in-line with the published data from the original author?
  * Can you explain any deviations?
  * How about any sources of error?
  * Is the stated hypothesis adequate?

===Conclusions===
Answer the following:

  * What conclusions can you make based on performing the experiment?
  * Do you feel the experiment was adequate in obtaining a further understanding of a concept?
  * Does the original author appear to have gotten some value out of performing the experiment?
  * Any suggestions or observations that could improve this particular process (in general, or specifically you, or specifically for the original author).
