a controlled experiment must have only one manipulated variable becuase if the experiment had multiple manipulated variables then it would not be a controlled experiment anymore it would be a manipulated Deseret experiment

What is the group that experiences no changes in the independent variable?

Controlled variables are things that must be controlled and kept the same during the experiments in order to prevent them from having an impact on results.


What are Confounding Variables?

In any experiment there are many kinds of variables that will effect the experiment. The independent variable is the manipulation for the experiment and the dependent variable is the measure you take from that experiment. Confounding variables are things in which have an effect on the dependent variable, but were taken into account in the experimental design. For example, you want to know if Drug X has an effect on causing sleep. The experimenter must take care to design the experiment so that he can be very sure that the subjects in the study fell asleep because of the influence of his Drug X, and that the sleepiness was not caused by other factors. Those other factors would be confounding variables.


During an experiment whivh factors must be controlled so that researchers can draw a logic conclusion?

figure it out yourself ,geez its not that hard.


What are the independent dependent and control variables?

The independent variable is the thing you are changing/varying. The dependent variable is the thing you are measuring. This variable should be affected by the independent variable. Control variables are anything that must be kept constant. If there are any other factors which affect the dependent variable, then these need to be controlled so that they do not have any significant effect (basically ensuring that you are actually measuring the effects of the independent variable).
