• Creating a hypothesis: This is formulating a prediction, not what Dimitri is doing (he already has measurements).
• Conducting an experiment: He already finished measuring (the experiment part), now he's dealing with the results.
• Analyzing the data: Preparing a graph of recorded measurements is a way to analyze the data collected from the experiment.
• Drawing a conclusion: This comes after analyzing data, to make a statement about the results, which he hasn't done yet.
