Explanation

All three types of investigation begin with a scientific question, use a procedure to gather information, and reach a conclusion based on the findings. Independent and dependent variables are features of experiments, not required in descriptive and comparative investigations. A control group is also not included in every type; it is mainly used in experiments.
