How does the control group differ from an experimental group in a scientific experiment?

• the control group does not contain the experimental data, whereas the experimental group does
• the control group does not contain the experimental variable, whereas the experimental group does not
• the control group is not tested or measured
• the control group contains more than one experimental variable

The variable that is measured in the experiment is-

• the dependent variable
• the independent variable
• the control variable
• the hypothetical variable

Isaac recorded that the footballs filled with air traveled an average of 45 meters, while the footballs filled with helium traveled an average of 40 meters. He rejects his hypothesis.

Which step of the scientific method is this?

• Draw conclusions.

• Analyze data.
