What is the variable and control in this experiment?

method:


1.Make a floating boat


2.Float that boat in water


3. Add some paper clips in


4.Put some mass on





Conclusion: When i put alot of mass in the boat the boat just got in the water..





i want to know what is the variable and control of this science experimentWhat is the variable and control in this experiment?
Variable: added weight of paper clips and mass


Control: The boat before the paper weight is addedWhat is the variable and control in this experiment?
Variable - increasing weight.


Control: None, there should be another boat to see if it sinks if you do nothing.
the variable would be the added weight of paper clips and mass because it is the thing you are testing, and the control would be the boat before the paper weight is added, because it is constant, and you are going to compare it with the results.
Boat's displacement without the paper clips is the control. Displacement w/ paperclips is the variable.
