Experiment
Testing a hypothesis by collecting data in controlled conditions
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to figure out why your houseplant keeps wilting despite regular watering. This situation is similar to a scientific experiment where you test a hypothesis by controlling variables and collecting data. Just as you might try different amounts of water, sunlight, or plant food to see which keeps the plant healthy, scientists manipulate one factor while keeping others constant to observe effects and gather evidence. In both cases, the goal is to isolate the cause of a problem by systematically testing different conditions, much like a scientist testing a hypothesis in a controlled environment.
