When doing experiments you have to have a control group and an experimental group. The control group is not given a drug (for example), while the experimental group is.

This will show (later on) if the drug had a real effect. Sometimes the control group will be given what is called a placebo. This looks just like the drug that the experimental group is given, except it has nothing in it.
