Controlled experiment is the type of experiment that involves changing only one variable at a time.
Controlled experiment is subtly defined as an experiment which holds everything constant except one particular variable. This type of experiment allows only one variable to ever change at a given time.
Additionally, a controlled experiment is a scientific test which is usually done under some controlled condition which means only a few factors are changed at a given time while the rests are kept constant.
Furthermore, controlled experiments are carried out to examine whether a particular variable is capable of causing a change in another variable. That particular variable is termed independent variable. A variable can be said to be a trait, factor and condition.
During a controlled experiment, an independent variable can be manipulated and the dependent variable is measured while unrelated variables are controlled. Controlled variables are ones that could affect the experiment, and to avoid that occurrence, scientists make them constant to further avoid an unfair experiment.
