A control variable is a test subject where nothing is tested on it and instead is used to compare. Let's say you had 2 Oranges. Orange 1 is left in the sun for 8 hours while orange 2 isn't doing anything. Orange 2 would be the control variable because nothing happened to it and you can use it to compare with orange 2 that has melted in the sun after 8 hours. Understand? If you don't just ask your science teacher and he/she might explain it better.

A manipulated variable the exact opposite. This variable changes throughout each trail of the experiment. There should usually be only one manipulated variable in an experiment.
