Control variable in hypothesis?

I'm wondering if the control variable/group are stated in the hypothesis. If so, then do you state it after the "then" in the "if..then %26amp; because" format?|||Nope, the format of the hypothesis is If...(what you are changing), then...(what your expected result is).|||The hypothesis has to do with forming a proposal to whatever question you are trying to answer. The control var. is not a requirement/has nothing to do with the hypothesis but is essential in the actual experiment.





example hypothesis: If you lower the water temp. slowly in a fish bowl, then the fish's respirations and body will slow down.
