'''Experimental science''' is science based on [[experiment|experimental research]] that plays the role of testing [[hypothesis]], typically in controlled laboratory settings. The hypothesis investigated in classical experimental science postulate regularities among event-types. These regularities may be statistical, as in quantum mechanics, and they may or may not be causal. Experimental scientist are interested in testing functional regularities (e.g. the Boyle-Charles's law for ideal gases), as well as causal regularities.

A test condition C is inferred from the hypothesis and a prediction is made about what should happen if C is realized. This forms the basis for a series of controlled experiments.<ref name="Cleland">{{Cite journal
