two ways I know of: contemplation, observation
1. if you see lights come on and go off when someone touches something on the wall, you might hypothesize a relation between the action and effect
2. lacking observation, some brilliant people apply all that they know about an issue and "jump" to a conclusion ie a hypothesis. One example might be by knowing the established relation F=ma (force = mass times acceleration). One might hypothesize that a similar relation might hold for energy (and it does, Einstein's E=mc^2 energy=mass Times Square of a velocity )
a.using informed creative imGINtion
b.using logical infernce
c. prior knowlodge
d. using a feeling about what should occur

To test hypotheses, scientists create experiments.

They will celebrate and tell the world how awesome they are.

The scientific attitude of skepticism helps scientists come up with good experiments to test hypotheses
Hopefully the publish their negative results.
There are five main scientific steps in solving a problem. They are observing, forming hypotheses, testing hypotheses, analyzing data, and evaluating results. During the observing process, scientists make observations and examine prior research. While forming a hypothesis or hypotheses (plural form) scientists ask questions and try to explain the observations. In the process of testing the hypotheses. scientists collect data that they use to support or reject a hypothesis. Analyzing data is when scientists analyze their data to draw conclusions about their research. finally evaluating results, scientists evaluate the data and conclusions presented by other scientists. This a cycle that keeps going on and on.
Scientists encourage other scientists so that all scientists can get the most accurate answer to all questions
