A hypothesis is an idea suggested in order to explain data (information). It's essentially the same as a theory. For example, evolution is a hypothesis that explains why different groups of plants and animals have different similarities.

Once a hypothesis has been suggested, you go and collect more data that will either support the hypothesis or contradict it. In the case of evolution, DNA patterns and protein similarities support the hypothesis.
