An experiment is a procedure carried out to verify, refute, or establish the validity

of a hypothesis. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating

what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated.

Laboratory
A laboratory (/lbrtri/ or /lbrtri/; informally, lab) is a facility that provides controlled
conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be
performed.
Laboratories used for scientific research take many forms because of the differing requirements
of specialists in the various fields of science and engineering. A physics laboratory might contain
a particle accelerator or vacuum chamber, while a metallurgy laboratory could have apparatus for
casting or refining metals or for testing their strength. A chemist or biologist might use a wet
laboratory, while a psychologist's laboratory might be a room with one-way mirrors and hidden
cameras in which to observe behavior.

Equipment
Three beakers, an Erlenmeyer flask, a graduated cylinder and a volumetric flask

Laboratory equipment refers to the various tools and equipment used by scientists working in a
laboratory. These include tools such as Bunsen burners, and microscopes as well as specialty
equipment such as operant conditioning chambers, spectrophotometers and calorimeters. Another
important type of laboratory equipment is laboratory glassware such as the beaker or reagent
bottle, or even a thermometer.
Laboratory equipment is generally used to either perform an experiment or to take measurements
and gather data. Larger or more sophisticated equipment is generally called a scientific
instrument. Both laboratory equipment and scientific instruments are increasingly being designed
and shared using open hardware principles.[2] [3]
Error

The word error entails different meanings and usages relative to how it is conceptually applied.
The concrete meaning of the Latin word "error" is "wandering" or "straying". Unlike an illusion,
an error or a mistake can sometimes be dispelled through knowledge (knowing that one is
looking at a mirage and not at real water does not make the mirage disappear)
