Control Group
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A control group matches the experimental group in every respect except the one variable being tested.
Show
One wilting plant gets loosened soil; a second, otherwise identical wilting plant keeps its compacted soil untouched.
Watch for
Without a control, an improvement could come from the season changing, not from the plant's treatment.
