a control experiement helps you set baselines for a normal situation. in other words your control experiment is purely what is normally going to happen in the experiements.
when you know what normally happens and you have those results to hand, you then run the experiements including your variables, then you can compare the new results to the control results, and by finding out the differences between the two you should be able to determine what effect that variable has on a normal situation
example experiment - you want to know how best to protect a metal wire from melting. (I've made this up, not done it!)
control experiment - take a single strand of copper wire, connect it to an electric circuit, pump it full of 13A, 240v current and measure the time it takes to melt
your control experiment determines that a normal copper wire will withstand the 13A, 240v for 15 seconds before melting.
your variables: copper wires coated in: silver, gold, lead and aluminum.
you run the same experiment with the same current, but with your varied wires and you find that: silver coat lasts 17secs, gold lasts 12secs, lead lasts 25secs and aluminum lasts 13secs
using your control experiment you can now determine that the best way to prevent copper wires from melting is to coat them in lead, as the control shows us copper wire lasts for 15secs, however your variable of lead took 25secs

experiment
Why is a controlled experiment better than a non controlled experiment?
A controlled experiment is better than a none controlled experiment because you can control one of them and the other you can't. Science is a really fun subject.
