Repeatability, Reliability and Validity

It is important to consider these three aspects of your experiment. It is okay to need improvements, recognising where improvements are needed is better than pretending you did it perfectly. Being critical allows you to improve!

  • Repeatable: A method is repeatable if the same steps can be followed easily without anything going wrong.
  • Reliable: An experiment is reliable if each repetition produces similar results
  • Valid: An experiment is valid if you are actually measuring your intended variable - if no other variables are interfering with your measurement.
