What does a hypothesis have to do with a science project?

Answer 1

In short, a hypothesis is a statement believed to be true - because of observation or reasoning, for example - but one not yet tested by experiment, or, in mathematics, not formally proven to be true. Hypotheses in science are often predictive, and their predictions can form the basis of experiments to prove or refute them.

Answer 2
