Not many for sure.

There is one he discussed, in his work titled De Anima(On the Soul). In Book II, Chapter 7, he discusses the role of light and the ability of humans to see color. He suggests what he calls "the following experiment", in his own words given as, "if what has color is placed in immediate contact with the eye, it cannot be seen".

Now, it is not suggested that anyone try to repeat this experiment, because you can damage the eye by placing something in contact with it. The point Aristotle was making is that, some medium that carries light such as air must be between the eye and the color object if the eye is to see color. He then proposed an experiment that could be used to test his claim.

However, for the most part, the scientific approach of Aristotle did not include experiments.
