Colorful educational worksheet from Kids Academy explaining the scientific process, with steps for students to sequence events like observing, hypothesizing, and experimenting.

Let's solve this step by step based on the passage and the scientific process.

Step 1: Understand the Scientific Process

The passage explains the scientific process in this order:
1. Scientists observe the world.
2. Observations lead to questions.
3. They make a hypothesis (a guess) to answer the question.
4. Then they design an experiment to test the hypothesis.

So, the correct logical order is:
- Observe → Question → Hypothesis → Experiment

But in this worksheet, we are given three events and need to put them in the correct sequence.

Step 2: Analyze Each Statement

We have three statements:

1. Scientists come up with a hypothesis.
2. Scientists design an experiment to test their hypothesis.
3. Scientists observe the world around them.

Now let’s determine the correct order of these events.

- First, scientists must observe the world (this leads to questions).
- Then, they form a hypothesis based on those observations.
- Finally, they design an experiment to test that hypothesis.

So the correct order is:
1. Observe → #3
2. Hypothesis → #1
3. Experiment → #2

Step 3: Fill in the Numbers

Now, for each numbered section, we check which number (1, 2, or 3) corresponds to the correct position in the sequence.

#### 1. Scientists come up with a hypothesis.
This is the second step in the process.
So, it should be labeled as 2.
✔ Check box next to 2

#### 2. Scientists design an experiment to test their hypothesis.
This is the third step.
So, it should be labeled as 3.
✔ Check box next to 3

#### 3. Scientists observe the world around them.
This is the first step.
So, it should be labeled as 1.
✔ Check box next to 1

Final Answer:

1. Scientists come up with a hypothesis.
➤ Check 2

2. Scientists design an experiment to test their hypothesis.
➤ Check 3

3. Scientists observe the world around them.
➤ Check 1

Summary:

The correct order of the scientific process is:
1. Observe (statement #3)
2. Hypothesis (statement #1)
3. Experiment (statement #2)

✔ So, check:
- Statement 1 → 2
- Statement 2 → 3
- Statement 3 → 1

This matches the logical flow of the scientific method.
