What should you do if your hypothesis is wrong?
Formulate a new hypothesis, taking into account the data from your experiment.
Which is more helpful- proving a hypothesis wrong or supporting a hypothesis?
it depend if the hypothesis is good or wrong. depends if the hypothesis is correct. An hypothesis is, in simple terms, a "guess" based on observed data. For this reason, the data to support any hypothesis can be manipulated to prove it either "right" or "wrong". Neither is more helpful. All scientific endeavour should be tested and retested.
What does it mean if an experiment does not support the hypothesis?
Do the experiment again and again to confirm the data is correct If the data is consistent then your hypothesis is wrong and you need to think of a new one that fits the data.
If a hypothesis is proven wrong why is it still important?
Generally, creating a hypothesis is a no-win situation. The hypothesis you devise must be provable false. Your data will either prove your hypothesis false or it will fail to prove the hypothesis false. You can never prove a proper hypothesis true. Science does not prove truth, it simply discards the false.
What is learned if the data from an experiment do not support the hypothosis?
It could point to that the hypothesis was wrong.

What do scientists do to help them make an hypothesis or collect data?

What would a scientist next steps be if his or her data supported his or her hypothesis?
If their data supported their hypothesis, then they would make a conclusion.
Is the null hypothesis considered correct until proven otherwise?
No. The null hypothesis is not considered correct. It is an assumption, and hypothesis testing is a consistent meand of determining whether the data is sufficiently strong to say that it may be untrue. The data either supports the alternative hypothesis or it fails to reject it. See examples in links. Also note this quote from Wikipedia: "Statistical hypothesis testing is used to make a decision about whether the data contradicts the null hypothesis: this is called significance testing. A null hypothesis is never proven by such methods, as the absence of evidence against the null hypothesis does not establish it."

What come after hypothesis?
A theory
Does the data support the hypothesis?
You would need to tell us about the data, the hypothesis and so on for us to be able to answer.
Is a scientific hypothesis accepted if there is no way to demonstrate that it is wrong?
It is accepted if the data support it.
What is learned if the data from an experiment do not support the hypothosis?
It could point to that the hypothesis was wrong.
What is a procedure carried out to gather data about an object or event?
Hypothesis
