Physical Science Experiments
Scientific experiments are usually done to verify a hypothesis, to gather data for establishing a theory, or to demonstrate a principle. Many scientific experiments are done in the laboratory. You can also do some of those hands-on experiments in your home for later demonstration in school or in a Science Fair.
Presently, the movement has been toward doing simulated experiments, using the computer. In fact, most work in electronic circuits is first simulated on a computer, before a device is made with hardware. If you have any questions, send us an email.
Hands-on Experiments
The following are physical science experiments that you can do in your school laboratory or at home. They are effective in helping you learn the subject matter through hands-on experience.
