Explanatory variable apex
In an experimental design comparing two groups in which one group gets one treatment and another group gets a second treatment, the experimental group is the group with the "different" treatment. The control is the "usual" treatment; the experimental group gets the "new" treatment. Of course, things get complicated with more complicated "experiments."
control group
Measured variable, control variable, treatment variable and moderating variable
Helps students organize identify independent variable, dependent variable, and constants in an experimental design. This information is then used to write an if/then statement for a hypothesis.
Explanatory variable apex
A quasi-experimental design is a design that resembles and experimental design but does not have the key ingredient of random assignment. They involve selecting groups that are used to test a variable but with no random pre-selection process.

It's called a variable
Control
In an experimental design comparing two groups in which one group gets one treatment and another group gets a second treatment, the experimental group is the group with the "different" treatment. The control is the "usual" treatment; the experimental group gets the "new" treatment. Of course, things get complicated with more complicated "experiments."
A control group is not provided any treatment, while the experimental group is the one to which a treatment is applied. The control and experimental groups are chosen to be as similar as possible, so that the observed effect (if any) can be attributed to the variable: what only the experimental group consumes, uses, or participates in.
