Best Answer

The first step is to be curious about something. As your curiosity grows, you may begin to wonder about how something works, or why it changes in certain ways when certain kinds of forces act upon it. Your curiosity may lead you to start developing specific ideas about what is going on. Some of these ideas may come quickly, and some may take longer to develop. Your hypothesis is your speculation about how something actually works.

One important thing about a scientific hypothesis that distinguishes it from other kinds of speculations is that the hypothesis should be testable in the real word. If you have some kind of speculation or hypothesis that by its nature cannot be tested in a tangible way, then it is not a good scientific hypothesis. Maybe you can rethink it and restructure it so that it is testable, or maybe you have to accept that your hypothesis is not very good, at least as far as science goes.
