experimental setups

An experimental setup is a carefully arranged environment where scientists test a specific idea or hypothesis. It includes all necessary equipment, sensors, and controls to ensure accurate measurements. For example, if studying how light affects plant growth, the setup might involve different light sources, pots with soil, and consistent watering schedules. The purpose is to create conditions that isolate the variable being tested while keeping everything else constant. This allows researchers to observe effects and draw reliable conclusions about cause-and-effect relationships. Proper setup ensures experiments are repeatable and results are valid.
