Question

the scientific method has the following steps:

1. ask a question
2. form a hypothesis
3. list materials needed
4. decide the steps in the procedure
5. perform the experiment
6. analyze the results
7. draw a conclusion

in 1872 a wealthy railroad tycoon named leland stanford (stanford university is named after him) made a bet with a friend about a galloping horse. put the step number next to each step of the scientific method for this problem.
____ mr. stanford proposed that the hooves of a galloping horse dont touch the ground at some point in time during the gallop.
____ before there were digital cameras the film in the camera needed to be developed into pictures.
____ a racehorse, a jockey and a camera
____ some of the pictures showed that the horses hooves were all in the air at the same time.
____ leland stanford made a bet that the hooves of a galloping horse dont touch the ground at some point in time.
____ mr. stanford decided to ask a photographer to take pictures of a horse galloping at the racetrack.
____ the jockey rode the galloping horse around the racetrack.
____ mr. stanford looked at the pictures the photographer brought him.

Explanation:

• "Mr. Stanford proposed that the hooves of a galloping horse don't touch the ground at some point in time during the gallop." is forming a hypothesis (step 2).
• "Before there were digital cameras the film in the camera needed to be developed into pictures." is part of deciding the steps in the procedure (step 4).
• "A racehorse, a jockey and a camera" is listing materials needed (step 3).
• "Some of the pictures showed that the horse's hooves were all in the air at the same time." is analyzing the results (step 6).
• "Leland Stanford made a bet that the hooves of a galloping horse don't touch the ground at some point in time." is asking a question (step 1).
• "Mr. Stanford decided to ask a photographer to take pictures of a horse galloping at the racetrack." is deciding the steps in the procedure (step 4).
• "The jockey rode the galloping horse around the racetrack." is performing the experiment (step 5).
• "Mr. Stanford looked at the pictures the photographer brought him." is analyzing the results (step 6).

Answer:
