science experiment
Classroom hypothesis test
A science experiment is a procedure designed to test a hypothesis or demonstrate a known principle through controlled observation.
The term covers everything from a child's baking-soda volcano to rigorous laboratory research.
Figuratively, anything untested or improvised may be called a science experiment: Their new scheduling system is basically a science experiment.
