Example 02: A student conducts an experiment to determine which type ofballpoint writing pen will last the longest before running out of ink. Experimental Group Uses 3 types of ink pens in a series of experiments

(Blue ink pen, Black ink pen, red ink pen) He copies text from his science book. He copies the same text over and over. He writes at the same speed. The room temperature remains the same. He writes on the same kind of paper.

Control Group Uses 3 types of non-ballpoint pens in a series of experiments Uses the same constants as the experimental group

What Are Control Experiments? An experiment to verify the results of another experiment using the same conditions except for one factor or variable Simply remove the independent variable entirely or replace

it with a neutral independent variable.

Experimental group All the details of the series of experiments using the 3types of ballpoint pens
