Independent variable
In a controlled experiment, the control variable remains constant while the experimental variable changes with each trial of the experiment.
You must have a control group, an experimental group, an experimental variable (also called the independent variable), and a response to be measured (also called the dependent variable). The experimental variable is applied only to the experimental group, so that any difference between the control group and experimental group is due only to the experimental variable. Both the control group and experimental group must have the same conditions, except for the experimental variable.

A control group is the standard of comparison between what happens with the experimental variable and without the experimental variable.

control setup
The experimental control is what you compare your experimental data with. Without the control, you can't tell if the variable you are testing is what is causing your results.
