, Control Group - ✔✔The group in an experiment where the independent variable being
tested is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for the comparison against the
experimental group where the independent variable is applied.
Experiment - ✔✔A research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable
has upon another variable.
Forensic Science - ✔✔The application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and
criminal law.
Hypothesis - ✔✔Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment.
Negative Control - ✔✔Control group where conditions produce a negative outcome.

employee for protection against infectious materials(as defined by OSHA).
Positive Control - ✔✔Group expected to have a positve result, allowing the researcher
to show that the experiment set up was capable of producing results.
