Put these steps in chronological order

Post by DarkLegend »

Observation: We brought a block of unsliced cheese on the same day, and it isn't moldy at all.
Hypothesis: I think that sliced cheese gets moldy faster because people touch it more.
Results: After five days, both sets of cheese that I touched are moldy. Both sets of cheese that I left alone have no mold.
Experiment: I keep four separate sets of cheese in the refrigerator: five slices that I touch once a day; five slices that I leave untouched; five cubes of unsliced cheese that I touch once a day; and five cubes of cheese that I leave untouched.
Problem: Why is the sliced cheese in the fridge all moldy?
Conclusion: I was right: Touching is the critical factor in making cheese mold.
Inference: There must be something about sliced cheese that makes it more likely to mold.

Hi - Is this a classroom or homework assignment where you've been asked to arrange these steps in logical chronological order?

We can't supply these answers for you.

You might find reviewing the steps of the scientific method will help:
