I am working on the scientific method and am confused on what a controlled variable is and what controlled treatment is?  I am also struggling to find the hypothesis to the following scenario:  Esther became interested in insulating while her parents new house was being built. She decided to determine which insulation transfer the least heat. She filled each of five jars half full with water. She sealed each jar with a plastic lid. Then she wrapped each jar with a different kind of insulation. She put the jars outside in direct sunlight. Later, she measured the temperature of the water and Jar.
