chemical experiments
Mixing substances scientifically
Chemical experiments are procedures that test hypotheses or explore reactions between substances—mixing, heating, combining chemicals to observe what happens.
The term evokes both legitimate laboratory science and amateur or illicit activity: The kids set up chemical experiments in the garage.
When authorities discover someone conducting chemical experiments, it often suggests drug manufacturing or explosives.
