Sergio Hull · Answer 1

The order of the process based on the scientific method would be-

C. My Toaster doesn't toast my bread (Observation)

F. Why doesn't the toaster work? (Question)

A. There is something wrong with the electrical outlet (Hypothesis)

B. If something is wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also wont work when plugged into it. (Prediction)

D. I plug my coffee maker into the electrical outlet. (Experiment)

E. My coffeemaker works. (Result)

Therefore, based on the experiment, the hypothesis is incorrect, since the coffeemaker also worked when plugged into the electrical outlet.

Alternative Hypothesis

There is something wrong with the Toaster.
