1

Experiment is defined as the use of scientific methods to test your hypothesis.

1

_________ are objects or ideas that represent other things
Scientists use these to learn more about the world around them or test designs and materials. They are helpful tools often used to study things that are very large, have many parts or are difficult to observe directly. They are still not the actual object being tested so different results may occur.
