If I am correct, both experiment and experimentation exist in English. Which one should I use? Can I say the following two sentences?
- This week, I am conducting new experiments at the laboratory
- This week, I am conducting new experimentations at the laboratory
If the answer is yes, is there any difference between them?
Best Answer
Experimentation is the act of doing experiments.
So you would say "I am conducting new experiments at the laboratory"
eg. "not all experimentation is done in a laboratory" means sometimes experiments are done outside the lab.
