b. Formation of a research question:  in accordance to observation made, the scientist form a question on which his experiment will be based
c. Formation of hypothesis: at this stage the scientist offers a proposed explanation for the observation which he had made and state what he expects at the end of the experiment.
d. Conduction of the experiment: at this stage the scientist carry out the experiment using appropriate means.
e. Analysis of data and drawing of conclusion: this is last stage of the investigation, at this stage, the scientist analysis the results he obtained and draw a conclusion based on the results of the data.

Explain how a crime lab could use paper chromatography to determine if lipstick found at a crime scene matched the lipstick of a
FromTheMoon [43]

Explanation:

The lipstick from the crime would be crushed and dissolved in an appropriate liquid solvent. The lipstick would then be placed in one of the ink spots on the starting / base line of the paper. Another spot would be created for the lipstick with which it is being compared with.

The paper chromatogram would then be placed vertically on a solvent that acts as the mobile phase. After some time, when the solvent reaches the solvent front  of the paper chromatography, by capillary action, the chromatogram can be removed and left to dry.

Bands will have appeared on the chromatography paper formed from the different components of the lipstick. The bands of the lipstick from the crime scene and that with which it is being compared to are observed. If the bands are all aligned, horizontally, then this means it is a complete match. The lipstick must have been the same used at the crime scene.
