The 'control group' is an essential component of an experiment. This is because
1. A control group allows one to determine if a particular result is due to the experimental variable.
2. No, it's not essential in experimentation. A control group is not always necessary it depends on the experiment.
3. A control group allows for multiple variables to be tested at the same time.
4. A control group is required for the development of a prediction.
The purpose of the constant is to:
a. allow for adjustment of the control
b. eliminate other potential factors/variables in the experiment
c. allow for the dependent variable to show the necessary outcome
d. help prove the hypothesis correct
A controlled experiment is one that
proceeds slowly enough that a scientist can make careful records of the results.
tests experimental and control groups in parallel.
is repeated many times to make sure the results are accurate.
keeps all variables constant.
