Identifying exceptions that can be raised

Computer Science is not an experimental science.

OK, I'm an arts graduate[1] so this is probably a really stupid
question, but what kind(s) of science would be non-experimental?

Sorry for the waste of bandwidth...

Astronomy. Archaeology. Paleontology. Seismology. Cosmic ray
research.

There have been a few experiments in environmental science, like
tenting a small island off the coast of Florida to kill all the
insects then watch how they are reintroduced.

Geology, unless you count the material science work used to
understand how minerals change under pressure and heat, or
including mining as part of geology.
