To start one difference between the two is that a scientific experiment is meant to be repeated and to be formed into a theory and/or a scientific law. Scientific experiments also use different types of data, for instance, you could be recording how much a plant grows in a month, in an experiment you would focus on the types of soil being used. In an investigation you would observe how tall the plant actually grew.
