Maybe have a look at Scientific method first, and make some notes about your intended experiment - feel free to create a subpage within this project as a sketchpad, or to solicit feedback and ideas.
It' also worth reviewing Blind experiment for information on why it's probably best for some experiments to retain some information in private until results are published ('Blind experiments are an important tool of the scientific method'). For this to be achievable, you might like to review this howto guide on maintaining private editing.
