The experimental group
The control group in an experiment is the group that nothing is done to. The reason why there is a control group in experiments is to compare it with the group that has been tested.
A control group is the unaffected group in a science experiment.
A control refers to the "control group" in a scientific experiment. The control group is compared to the experimental group. For example, pretend you are experimenting to see if a drug works. Group A (The experimental group) is given the real drug, and Group B (The control group) is given a fake drug (placebo) to compare results.
A control group is never changed.
Control Group
It is the group you are test in an experiment that may have a variable. It is the opposite of the control group. The point of having these 2 groups is to prove that a change occurred.
ChaosThe opposite of control as a verb (e.g. - I will control you):Relate to. (e.g. - I will relate to you)
The experimental group
The opposite is together, in a group, or en masse.

In a scientific experiment it is common to split your sample into (at least) two groups. Say you were to study the effect of a new drug on a specific condition, you would have a sample (a group of people with the condition in question e.g. breast cancer), and you would treat all members of the sample the same, with the exception that one group is give the actual drug, and the other group is given a "fake" pill. This fake pill is also called a placebo. The group that is given the real drug is called the experimental group, and the group that is give the placebo is called the control group. This setup attempts to ensure that any effect that is observed is caused by the drug (the experimental condition).
You use a control group to compare the results of the experimental group to. The control group has the "normal" results. After the experiment, you can tell if and what has changed from the control groups results
the group that does not change in the experiment VIVI :)

You need a control group to compare your experimental group to something.
