We don't want to restrict your imagination, and you may use any method of researching that you prefer. (As long as the information is of good quality.) However, I would like to steer you into the proper direction.
What makes an experiment of good quality?
- Observe. Leave your prior beliefs out of the equation. Look at the problem from every angle and every possibility.
- Be unique. Sure, we'd all like to see a couple results of a few TK experiments, but come on. Please be smart enough to look at the board and do something different. Think about your topic for a while, try to be creative and do something that hasn't been done before. [At least here.]
- Retest! As most know, nothing can be proven if it only has been done once. You must prove with your quantity that the results were not mere coincidence.
Scientific Method
1. Define the question
2. Gather information and resources (observe)
3. Form hypothesis
4. Perform experiment and collect data
5. Analyze data
6. Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis
7. Publish results
8. Retest (frequently done by other scientists)
I'll make this longer later if needed.
