Basics of Experimental Design
|
There are several concepts as important to experimental design as they are basic. Perform experiments on any of the following simulated experiments in order to see the importance of some of these concepts illustrated. After each interactive example, if the important concept is not clear, there is a link which, if clicked, will give a detailed explanation.
- Experimental System A
- Experimental System B
- Experimental System C
- Experimental System D
- Experimental System E
The following is a java applet designed to illustrate simple concepts of experimental design. Follow the instructions and then click the link below the results to see an explanation of the experimental design concept meant to be illustrated.
The "spectra" of an unknown sample is shown as the gray square on the left partially covered by white bars. The aim of this experiment is to find the "concentration" of the unknown sample by comparing the unknown to the color of solutions of know concentrations, shown in the square on the right (partially covered with black bars). Select a concentration and then click an arrow to take a measurement.
