Experimenting is the science process skill that involves conducting tests under controlled conditions to investigate hypotheses and observe outcomes. During an experiment, scientists manipulate one or more variables while keeping other conditions constant to determine the effects of these changes. For example, a scientist might test the effect of different amounts of sunlight on plant growth by varying light exposure while keeping other factors like water and soil type the same. Experimenting allows scientists to gather evidence, test predictions, and draw conclusions based on empirical data, thereby advancing scientific understanding.
