A controlled experiment consists of a control group, one or more experimental groups, and an independent (experimental) variable that is applied to the experimental group/s but not the control group.

The control in the experiment is the group of items that is "normal" basically what the experiment is compared against. You have the control group which tests out what is expected to happen and then you add your experimental item to test what exactly is happening differently. I know that's not very technical but I'm unaware of all the technical terms and it's been years sense I've done chemistry or any other form of Experimental education lol ...

An untouched, unaltered sample of the material being tested. For example, if you were testing the effects of antifreeze on the growth of bean plants, you would have 4 plants living under the same conditions. Light, food, soil, pot size... all the same. you would apply antifreeze to two of the plants only. The other two would be your control group. By comparison, they would show you how much less (or more) the antifreeze plants would grow.
