Experimentation and Observation

Experimentation and Observation in the Philosophy of Science refer to two ways we learn about the world. Experimentation involves controlling conditions to see the results, like seeing if plants grow better with or without fertilizer. Observation, on the other hand, is just watching and noting what happens naturally, like watching a bird build a nest. Both methods provide different kinds of information, and often work together to give us a complete understanding of how and why things work.
