Answer 4

The steps of the scientific method are to:
Ask a Question
Do Background Research
Construct a Hypothesis
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Communicate Your Results

Answer 5

a hypothesis is a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Answer 6

a control group is a group of subjects closely resembling the treatment group in many demographic variables but not receiving the active medication or factor under study and thereby serving as a comparison group when treatment results are evaluated.

Answer 7

Without a control group, what would you compare your results to? How would you know if the treatments had any effect? Without a control group, there is no basis for knowing if a particular result is due to the variable being tested or to some other factor. The control group gives a set where the expected outcome is known. So when a variable is changed and if the outcome is the same as the control group, then we know to try a different variable.
