What are the strengths of correlation research, observational/descriptive research, and experiments?

Mrs. Sue Could you help me? I am making a chart describing the description, uses, strengths, and weaknesses of observational, correlation, and experimental research. My problem is that I am not understanding the difference between the description and the uses.
You might use the observational approach by watching children's behavior in a preschool class. The site above lists several strengths and weaknesses of this approach.
The correlational technique plots two sets of data on a chart. The above website correlates hours spent studying with a grade on a test.
The experimental approach is a controlled experiment. The classical example of the mouse in a cage -- perhaps testing time in learning new tasks -- as in a maze. This part, too, gives the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.
