Can the independent variable and the control variable be the same?
No, the independent variable and the control variable cannot be the same. The independent variable is what is being changed or manipulated in an experiment to observe its effect on the dependent variable, while the control variable is kept constant to minimize its impact on the results. Having them be the same would defeat the purpose of having a control variable.

Why is it important to have a control in a science experiment?
In order to be certain that the changing of the independent variable directly affects the dependent variable, a control must be taken where the independent variable is not changed-this ensures that whatever happens to the dependent variable happens because of the independent variable, and is not something that would happen anyway.
What is the science definition of independent vaiable?
The independent variable is also known as the experimental variable. It is the one variable that is manipulated or allowed to vary. All other variables are kept constant. For example, if you want to determine the relationship between mass and acceleration, you would vary the mass and it would be the independent variable. You would then measure the acceleration that occurs with different masses, which would be the dependent variable.

What is a controlable variable?
A variable which can be controlled by some other variables or some other parameters is known as controlled variable. A controlled variable is something that can be changed by the experimenter. It is also known as the independent variable. It is something that gives a measure by which to gauge everything else by. For example, if you were testing the effectiveness of a plant fertilizer the "control" would be a plant that is given no fertilizer at all. A controlled variable is the variable that stays the same through out the experiment meaning no changes to it.

A controlled variable is a setting where the dependent variable is not controlled by the independent variable. For example, if you were trying to measure the rate of movement in an organism in highly salty concentrations, a controlled variable would include the organism in an environment with no salt at all.
