A scientist decides to study the effect of salt on a particular type of bacteria. Arrange the steps of the scientific method in the correct order to show how the scientist would proceed with his work. The scientist asks the question,
Does salt help the growth of
these bacteria?

The scientist puts the bacteria in
three different environments:
high salt, medium salt, and low salt.
A microbiologist notices that
some bacterial species thrive
in salt water environments.
The scientist forms a hypothesis
that higher concentrations of salt
may increase the growth of these
types of bacteria.
The scientist publishes his report
in a scientific journal.
The scientist finds that the
high-salt environment has
the most bacteria.
