The design of an experiment involves much more than deciding on a matrix of experimental points. This is demonstrated by six recent experiments, dealing with such diverse subjects as evaluating the reaction of birds to different noises, comparing computer programming methods, and optimizing a chemical reaction. These experiences and others are generalized in some basic guidelines for designing experiments. Some technical challenges and educational programs are also discussed.
