Yes in a way, and no in a way.
In a blind study, the control group will be the group that is administered the placebo, the sugar pill, while the experimental group will be treated with the actual medication (if this is a study on how a medication affects something).
That way, the researchers can see what side effects are real or not (obviously people on the sugar pill will not be experiencing nausea as a cause of the pill but rather because their mind thinks they are).

What is an experimental control?
A group of experimental subjects that is not exposed to a chemical or treatment being investigated so that it can be compared with experimental groups that are exposed to the chemical or treatment. cw: An experimental control may be the control group. In general, the experimental control is something that allows you to say that the treatment effects on the experimental group are due to the treatments, rather than anything else.
What is a experimental group?
In a scientific experiment it is common to split your sample into (at least) two groups. Say you were to study the effect of a new drug on a specific condition, you would have a sample (a group of people with the condition in question e.g. breast cancer), and you would treat all members of the sample the same, with the exception that one group is give the actual drug, and the other group is given a "fake" pill. This fake pill is also called a placebo. The group that is given the real drug is called the experimental group, and the group that is give the placebo is called the control group. This setup attempts to ensure that any effect that is observed is caused by the drug (the experimental condition).
What is the constant variable in investigation of fungi growth mold?
The variables that you keep the same between the control and experimental groups are the constant variables.
What is meant by saying a hypothesis must be testable. This developing a hypothesis?
* something testable * have to have tools * dependent and independent variables * groups (control and experimental) * something "do-able"
What is the difference between control and experimental variables?
Control Variable = kept in constant in a experiment Experimental Variable = changes in a experiment
What is the relationship between Control and experimental groups?
control groups are those which you keep constant you don't do anything to them and experimental groups are the ones which you are adding something to it to see what happens
What factor is kept the same between the control and experimental groups is called?
A factor that is kept the same between the control and experimental groups is called
What is an experimental and control group?
it is the groups in experiment
What do control groups and experimental groups not have in common?
The variable being tested. The difference between the two groups after the experiment will ideally show some effect by the variable element.
Control and experimental groups are identical except for what?
The control and experimental groups differ in that the experimental group is exposed to the treatment or intervention being studied, while the control group is not. This allows researchers to isolate the effects of the treatment and compare it to a baseline.
What are the 2 different groups in a scientific experiment?
experimental and control
Control and experimental groups are identical except for the?
Independent variable
What are two groups in a controlled experiment?
Experimental group and Control group
What is the difference between a control groups and experimental groups?
The control is a group that is held constant and is not experimented with, The experimental group is the group that is experimented with
What is an experimental control?
A group of experimental subjects that is not exposed to a chemical or treatment being investigated so that it can be compared with experimental groups that are exposed to the chemical or treatment. cw: An experimental control may be the control group. In general, the experimental control is something that allows you to say that the treatment effects on the experimental group are due to the treatments, rather than anything else.
What are things that are both the same for experimental and control groups?
the number of participants in both groups are usually the same
What are the two groups you need to have an experiment?
You need a control group and an experimental group.
