   Experiment
   A controlled environment for the application of common sense. Having observed something interesting in the world of chemistry, we make an educated guess as to what is happening (a 'theory'), then say 'if this explanation is true, we should see such-and-such an effect if we do such-and-such.' Actually doing such-and-such and seeing what happens is called 'doing an experiment'.
