This is the difference between a control variable and a control group
What is control group does not receive treatment/independent variable. Control variable are variables that are kept the same so that you know the IV gave you result

Saltwater plants of the same species were grown in soil in separate containers with 1 liter of water. All of the plants were the same height at the beginning of the experiment. Different amounts of salt were dissolved in each container as shown in the diagrams. All other conditions were held constant. Measurements for the final height of each plant were provided. What would be the independent variable in this experiment?
What is amount of salt
300
This is a substance that is combined chemically, has to be chemically separated, and is represented by a chemical formula
What is a compound

This happens when the current in an electromagnet is shut off
What is it is no longer a magnet and will not pick up items

Ms. Fox wants to see which type of hair conditioner makes her hair the softest. What would be the independent variable in this experiment?
What is how soft her hair is.

A science class is asked to compare the speeds of two similar toy boats. • One student measures the time it takes boat X to travel across a pond 10 meters in length. • A second student measures the time it takes boat Y to travel the same distance across the same pond. Which would most likely cause error in this investigation?
What is using two different students to measure the time

These are the outcomes of all chemical changes (4)
What is new substance, new properties, new chemical bonds, new composition

This law tells you that older fossils are found on bottom layers and younger fossils are found on top layers (each layer is younger than the layer below it)
What is The Law of Superposition
