Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-------Choices ---------------
Predict
Use variable
Plan and conduct investigations
Hypothesize
Measure
Classify and order
Record and display data
Use time and space relationships
Use numbers
=================
Selection:
These are in approximate order:
Hypothesize: Build an explanation of the observation. The hypothesis should be done after a thorough review of existing information. Library database searches and researcher interviews are suggested.
Predict: prediction of what would happen if the explanation were correct. E.g., If an atom is homogenous and has no internal structure, then bombarding it with with neutrons will result in most neutrons going right through the atom, and none would be reflected backwards.
Plan and conduct investigations: Design experiments that test the hypothesis. E.g., see if any neutrons are reflected backwards. If they are, the hypothesis needs to be changed.
Measure: Do the work. Calibrate the equipment and record everything.
Record and display data: Publish the results and conclusions for peer review. Seek other's input in order to generate general agreement that the data, procedure, and conclusions are warranted.

Use numbers? Nah. Not if they are not required to reach a conclusion.(e.g., the precipitate will be pink or the reaction will stink).
Use Time and Space Relationships: Yes, but only if the hypothesis depends on them.
Classify and Order: OK, especially if you are a biologist, but not always necessary.
Use variable: usually, but what and how depends on the experiment.
Blame: Place blame on the lab partner (Just kidding).
