the control.constantif you make no changes, then its not called an experiment...The control is variable
The function of a control in any experiment is to give you something to test your results against. If you were to test for reducing sugars by using Benedict's test, not having negative or positive controls, that is tests where you know which is negative and which is positive, then you wouldn't have accurate results to compare to.
Control and Experiment group is what you would normally have in an experiment
Control is important in an experiment to eliminate the influence of variables other than the one being tested. By having a control group that is not exposed to the experimental treatment, researchers can accurately gauge the true effect of the independent variable on the outcome. This allows for valid and reliable conclusions to be drawn from the experiment.
The control, or control group, goes through all the steps of an experiment, but does not contain the factor being tested, which is called the experimental variable or independent variable.
A negative control is a control group in an experiment where the variables are not expected to have an effect. It helps researchers to determine if any observed effects are due to the treatment being tested or other factors.
In an experiment, a positive control is used to show that the experiment can detect a specific response, while a negative control is used to show that the experiment does not detect a response when it should not.
The negative control in the lactose experiment would be a sample that does not contain lactose or the enzyme needed to break down lactose. This control is used to show what would happen if no lactose were present for the enzyme to act on.
In the double stuffed Oreo experiment, the positive control would be the regular Oreo cookie with no added cream. This is because it represents the expected outcome or normal condition, and can be used as a reference point to compare the results of the other cookies with double the cream filling. The negative control in this experiment would be a cookie that is not an Oreo, such as a plain vanilla cookie or a cracker. This is because it represents a scenario where no effect is expected or the intervention being tested is not applicable. It can be used to ensure that any observed differences in the experimental groups are due to the intervention being tested (in this case, the amount of cream filling in the Oreo cookie) and not due to some other factor, such as the type of cookie being used.
A negative control in an experiment serves as a baseline to compare the effects of the experimental treatment. It helps to ensure that any observed effects are due to the treatment itself and not other variables or external factors. By including a negative control, researchers can identify any background noise or false positives, thereby increasing the reliability and validity of their results. This control is essential for confirming that the experimental setup functions as intended.
All science experiments are performed in a controlled manner which means, there will be a positive control, a negative control and importantly the subject sample(s) who's behavior is not known. The experimental observation must be positive with the positive control sample and negative with the negative control sample, no matter whatever the condition is. Only in this set up the result of a subject (which is the actual unknown experimental sample) would be considered as a faithful result.Any fault or irregularities of the controls will destroy the authenticity of an experiment.
The control in a science experiment is the same thing as a constant. It is something that you keep the same the entire experiment. For example if you were testing how various locations affect temperature your constants would be the thermometer you used and the time for measuring the temperature. If you don't have a constant than your experiment results won't be accurate.
a control is something that stays the same in an experiment
it is called the control of the experiment
control means to take conrol in a science experiment
The control of an experiment is the part of an experiment that does not change, and is strictly used as a comparison to the variable that is being tested.
Pretty much as it is in math, something that is undefined, but in Science it needs to be defined or the experiment cant continue. Your variables are basically what you measure, what you change and your control, both positive and negative (one with a 100% percent positive result and another with a 100% negative result)
