Snowy, Ellie, Casey -- in Jacksonville -- please use the same name for your posts.

It looks like you've spent the evening fishing for your homework answers.

okay... sorry. I will stick to the same now from now on then if it makes you happy

u didn't answer me though.

the control is what you are matching the blank to. (i.e.) is the blank going to match what the control object is speced out to. if a board is 4 inchs long, that is the control piece. you put other boards up beside to make sure each board is four (4) inches long. hope this helps.

The purpose of including a control in an experiment is to provide a baseline comparison for the experimental group.
