Typically, the aim of an experiment is a simple statement about the goal of the experiment or what the experiment wishes to achieve. In other words, it summarizes what the experimenter would learn after conducting the experiment. So, for an experiment about the differences between antiseptics and disinfectants, the aim statement could be:
- To determine the differences between antiseptics and disinfectants, or
- To demonstrate the differences between antiseptics and disinfectants.
Both antiseptic and disinfectants are chemicals that kill or disable micro-organisms. The main difference between the two is the surface to which they are applied. The chemicals that can be applied to living cells (such as our skin) or organisms, for killing or deactivating microorganisms, are known as antiseptics. Disinfectants, on the other hand, are applied to non-living surfaces (such as floor, glass, etc.) or products for killing or deactivating microorganisms.
Both the disinfectants and antiseptics are commonly used for preventing diseases and infections.
Hope this helps.
