1. Hypothesize: The fuzzy growth on bat noses was thought to be the cause of bat fatalities.
2. Predict: Healthy bats exposed to bats with white noses will become ill.
3. Test: Healthy bats were housed with white-nose bats or with other healthy bats.
4. Observe: Bats with white noses are found to have low fat reserves and high death rates.
5. Analyze: Healthy bats housed with white-nose bats became ill, but not those housed separately, leading Blehert to conclude that white-nose syndrome was likely the cause of illness.
