A hypothesis is a temporary explanation for some observation. It is then tested and, if is found to be incorrect, a new one has to be formed. If found to be correct, it becomes a theory. If that theory is later found to have a counter-example it is modified (hypothesis -> theory - same process) or a completely new hypothesis proposed and tested. The hypothesis alwasy comes before the theory.
it is a practical explanation that the scientist develops that accounts for a theory.
