What is Experimental What is Experimental Design?Design?
• How do you envision the data gathering phase of your research project?
• Determining the goal of an experiment and selecting the process for the study
• Experimento Cause and Effecto Comparison
• Observational researcho Over time

Good Experimental Good Experimental Designs:Designs:
• Maximize the amount of information that can be collected for a given amount of efforto Collecting more data might help you out later if you
can’t find any patterns or trends during data analysis
• Include as much replication within groups as possible (as many trials as time/budget will allow)o Minimizes the possibility of random chance impacting
your results

A Place to Start:A Place to Start:• Be sure to clearly define any necessary terms
before starting your experiment
• Start by making a list of all possible influential factors. Then, be sure you control as many of them as is possible.
• How will you incorporate: o Standardization (among researchers)o Randomization (among treatment groups)

Homework:Homework:
• Individually in your project journal, make a list of all possible influential factors in your study
NEXT STEPS:• With your partner, determine the goal of your
project (HINT: this has nothing to do with hypotheses)
• After you have identified your goal, start thinking about your project timeline o What are the big milestones in your projecto When do you hope to have them done
