What is the Purpose of What is the Purpose of a Control?a Control?
Controls are NOT being tested
Controls are used for COMPARISON
![Page 13: Scientific method pp chem i](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/545b6a6db1af9f40378b5c2d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
EXAMPLE: What variables does one need to
account for if one were to design an experiment to test whether or not hot water dissolves salt faster than cold water? What would be the control?

Other Variables The factor that is changed
is known as the independent variable.
The factor that is measured or observed is called the dependent variable.

Example of Controls & Example of Controls & VariablesVariables
For example, suppose you want to figure out the fastest route to walk home from school.
You will try several different routes and time how long it takes you to get home by each one.
Since you are only interested in finding a route that is fastest for you, you will do the walking yourself.
![Page 16: Scientific method pp chem i](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/545b6a6db1af9f40378b5c2d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

One more thing… it is best to make several trials with each independent variable.

How About Another Example? Pumpkin growers would like to
know if phosphorus has a key role in growing GIANT PUMPKINS!
THINK: How would you set up a controlled experiment?

Remember:Remember:
Two groups are used: the control & experimental
groups
There should be only one variable tested at a time.
Perform multiple trials

RetestRetest
In order to verify the results,
experiments must be retested.

Theory Vs. Law supported by
many experiments.
can be modified Ex. - Einstein's
Theory of Relativity, Atomic Theory
•Summarizes a pattern in nature. •No known exceptions occur.•Ex. - Law of Universal Gravitation, Law of Conservation of Mass, Gas Laws

Ticket-Out-The-Door: CP You want to buy a new car. You are
interested in three different models (model 1, model 2, model 3). Today you are test driving the cars, and you want the car with the best gas mileage.

Ticket-Out-The-Door: CPHWithin a classroom setting, subjects were asked to listen to a guest instructor. All subjects were given a description of the instructor. Some subjects read a description containing the phrase “People who know him consider him to be a rather cold person...”, while other people read a description where the word “warm” was substituted for the word cold (otherwise, the descriptions were identical). After the lecture, subjects were asked to rate the instructor. Subjects who were told the instructor was warm gave him more favorable ratings compared to subjects who were told that the instructor was cold.
