      Hi ibrahimn

      Yes I have, that is in essence what being a scientist is all about 😉 However, the experiments I do are not like the ones you see on TV (in most of my experiments things don’t blow up!).

      An experiment is a procedure by which you try to prove a theory (also known as hypothesis). In science what tends to happen is that you think of how things could work and then carry out your experiments to validate your thoughts.

      How about you? Have you done any experiments in class? If you could do an experiment, what would you do?
