For demonstrations of good experimental design, we recommend using Google Scholar to search for controlled experiments in your chosen area. You'll generally find several useful examples. Similarly, we'd recommend also searching similarly for quasi-experiments if you're leaning in that direction. Or, see our own list of exemplary controlled experiments in education.
