Depending on exactly how you are defining the steps, there could be a couple of fourth steps. Depends on how detailed you want to be in breaking things down. Here's one possible set of steps.
1. Identify the problem/Make an observation
2. Develop as many resources as possible.
3. Ask an appropriate question.
4. Develop a hypothesis/Make a prediction.
5. Do the experiment/Test the hypothesis.
6. Keep good systematic records of the methods and results.
7. Analyze the results.
8. Develop a conclusion/Refine the hypothesis.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 9.
Step four in this case would be: 4. Develop a hypothesis/Make a prediction.
Some definitions shorten the process, making certain assumptions. Step four in the following definition is different:
1. Identify the problem/Make an observation
2. Develop a hypothesis/Make a prediction.
3. Do the experiment/Test the hypothesis.
4. Analyze the results.
5. Develop a conclusion/Refine the hypothesis.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 6.
Hope this is helpful.
