      I don’t personally. I’m actually doing a study right now, rather than an experiment. A study is an organized observation–basically I look at how things are right now. An experiment tries out new things instead. For example, I’m looking at what kinds of people touch or eat bats. That’s a study. An experiment would be if I gave twenty people a class on the risks of diseases from bats and then looked to see if they had more or less contact with bats. I’ve tried something new, and want to see the result. Make sense?
