Name of Method
Brief description
An experiment canvas allows for a team or individual to create an experiment for the current time and test out their ideas about a certain issue/topic. This is done through hypothesising the current riskiest assumption there is about an experiment, then a falsifying hypothesis. It is clear and easy way to create an experiment.

Problem, Purpose and Needs
Often experiments or research is done before considering particular issues or obstacles that could take place. The purpose of the experiment canvas is to map out these possible tensions and experiment with them to test hypotheses.

Scope
Time commitment
A team considering an issue could take a couple of days to come up with a risky assumption and fill out the canvas, conducting the actual experiment could take longer depending on what the hypothesis is.

Step by Step
Work in a team/independently to create a risky assumption, then a falsifiable hypothesis. After these have been created, how the experiment is setup and how to utilise it. Once the results have been collected the team can conclude whether the hypothesis was correct

Connecting Methods
Flexibility and Adaptability
When a topic of interest has been identified then a risky assumption and hypothesis can be formed by the team to suit the needs.
