Aim is a term commonly used in science to define the objective of a process or an experiment. In simple terms, aim defines what a particular process or experiment will accomplish or what information it will provide us with. Aim is generally a brief and succinct statement about a given process.
For example, if we want to study the effect of increasing sugar quantity on the taste of tea, we can carry out an experiment. In this experiment, we will add successively higher amounts of sugar in a cup of tea and taste it. For such an experiment, the aim can be written as "to determine the effect of sugar quantity on the taste of tea." This single statement will tell anybody what we intend to do with the proposed experiment.
Sometimes, the term objective is also used interchangeably with aim.
Hope this helps.
