Tom hypothesizes that cardinals prefer eating sunflower seeds to grass seeds. To test his hypothesis, Tom designs an experiment.
The steps of Tom's experiment are shown below, but they are not in the correct order. Arrange the steps of the experiment in the order they should be performed.

of sunflower
seeds and grass
seeds near
each other.
