Exploring Experimental Design: Using hands-on activities to learn about experimental design

Science and Children—January 1999

This article presents the basic concepts of experimental design through a series of hands-on activities. This allowed students to focus on one or two fundamental concepts during each activity, reducing the likelihood of confusion. Even though the primary goal was to teach students how to conduct, analyze, and report an experiment, they also developed stronger problem-solving skills and increased their science understanding.
