experiment

/ɛk.ˈspɛ.ɹɪ.mənt/

When used as a verb, it is often followed by the preposition "with" (e.g., "experiment with new tools") to indicate what is being tested. In scientific contexts, it is a formal term. In everyday conversation, it can be more casual, referring to any kind of trial or attempt at something new.
