WHY NOT USE CONTROL EXPERIMENTS?

The article focuses on the significance of experiments in a scientific method. In a scientific method, experiment forms an integral part. A concrete and conclusive answer to a definite and debatable question is provided by an experiment. It pragmatically proves or disproves theories. Without experimental confirmation a theory can only be a notion with no certainty, or even probability. However, many experiments that are imposed on pupils for teaching purposes, may not be experiments at all. If a definite and debatable question is not answered by an experiment, it is not an experiment and not a part of the scientific method of discovering truth. Additional time consumed in conducting scientific experiments in the scientific way is indicated to be well repaid in heightened interest, better retention, and more logical use of the text.
