Designing a procedure to test an explanation or theory takes time. It must be documented thoroughly so that it can be exactly recreated if necessary. Questions to ask yourself about the experiment you designed (check all that your work meets): Did you identify the type of experiment you are doing –controlled, double-blind, study, or a type of causal? Did you identify the variable, control, and any control variables? Did you include specific steps to do the controlled part of the experiment including any set-up, building, testing, and recording of data? Did you include specific steps to do the variable part of th experiment, including any set-up, building, testing, and recording of data? Did you do all possible to exclude experimenter bias that could influence the results of the experiment. If possible, did you control any controlled variables or other causal factors other than the main variable that could affect the results of the experiment? Did you include any formulas and instructions on when and how to use them if necessary? If you left any box unchecked, you should review your procedures and revise if necessary. Click to go to step 4D
