Step where we...Looked at a picture of the crime scene AND read about it

Step where we...Examined the each marker chromatogram to see what it was made out of.

Data or observations only from an experiment or the environment

My opinions on what I think the answer is

Stepwise process used to answer a question through experimentation

Step where we...Step where we...Answered: "Which marker wrote the note" based on the chromatogram we made of the note during the lab.

Step where we...separated different black inks AND the ink found in the note by using paper chromatography
