Identify The Controls and Variables PDF

Group A was given special juice to drink while working and Group B was not. Group A made fewer stacks of papers than Group B. Homer sprayed half a shower with coconut juice and half with water. After 3 days there was no change in the green slime. Bart exposed 10 mice to radio waves for 5 hours and compared them to 10 mice not exposed. Both groups were equally able to push away a food block. Krusty tested itching powder on two subjects, one with the original and one with an experimental powder. The experimental powder caused itches for longer, supporting the product claim.
