Explain the difference between control group and experimental group
Elan Coil [88]
A control group is kept the same to determine whether or not what you did for an experiment on the experimental group was actually caused by the experiment performed, and not other environmental changes. By keeping the same climate, environments, nourishment, etc. on a control group and experimental group, but only performing the experiment on the experimental group, you can prove your experiment actually works.
