In scientific inquiry, an '''experiment''' ([[Latin]]: ''[[ex-]] periri'', "to try out") is a method of investigating particular types of research questions or solving particular types of problems. The experiment is a cornerstone in the [[empiricism|empirical]] approach to acquiring deeper [[knowledge]] about the world and is used in both natural sciences as well as in social sciences.

An experiment is defined, in science, as a method of investigating less known fields, solving practical problems and proving theoretical assumptions.
