When using the scientific method what must be tested as focus of any experiment?
hypothesis
What is the difference between a hypothesis a scientific theory and a scientific law?
A hypothesis is any concept concerning understanding something, anything. A (scientific) theory is a hypothesis which has been tested and found (so far) to be true. A "scientific law" is just a thumb-nail description of a theory (its never complete).
How will you differentiate the following term hypothesis vs theory?
A hypothesis is just a (any) guess. To be considered "scientific" it must be testable (against reality). A theory is concept (it was a hypothesis) which HAS been tested and - so far - has not been found wanting (i.e. no errors [yet]).
What do scientists design to test a hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation. Basically, it's an educated guess to a question. Testing a hypothesis is the only way to prove this statement correct or incorrect. A scientist conducts an experiement, using constants and variables, and draws conclusions against the hypothesis. This will prove it to be true or untrue.
What is a test of hypothesis called?
A hypothesis is any idea used to explain and test a scientific idea. To find if it is true, you need to test it, which you do by running some testing, and it may then be proven.

What is meant by saying a hypothesis must be testable?
It must be possible to observe whether the hypothesis is true.
How does the existence of organisms in hot springs relate to the scientific hypothesis of how life forms arose on earth?
That's a bit of a nonsense question. The existence of life is consistent with *any* and *every* hypothesis that tries to explain the existence of life, scientific or not. The existence of life is the very thing that the hypothesis is trying to explain, so necessarily the hypothesis assumes it and must therefore be consistent with it. The same goes for the *kind* of life we find on Earth: since any scientific hypothesis must explain the life we find here, such a hypothesis must necessarily be consistent with the life we find.
What does every hypothesis have the same?
1:They are based on observations. 2:They can be tested

What is the principle of falsfifiability?
The principle of falsifiability states that any theory or hypothesis being tested must be stated in a way that allows the possibility for disproving, rejecting or showing as inaccurate that theory or hypothesis through scientific methods, techniques and procedures. If you state a hypothesis that renders it immune to any attempts for rejecting it via scientific methods, then you have violated the falsifiability principle and such hypotheses or theories are scientifically non-viable. You must make predictions that allow your hypothesis to be shown as incorrect.

How can finding out that a hypothesis is not true be for scientists?
Remember that a hypothesis is a 'good' guess about a question. If a scientist comes up with a hypothesis, she will test it and then see if the testing will say 'yes'. She will then do these many times and if the answer still is 'yes' she will have it published. Many others in the same field will then review that data and they will add to the information or they may not agree.
Are aquatic apes real?
No. There is no scientific evidence to support the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis. Nor are there any scientific papers in any reputable, peer reviewed scientific journals that support this hypothesis. After the last proponent to support this hypothesis, Hardy 1960(marine biologist), the main prominent proponent of it is Elaine Morgan who is not a scientist but a screenwriter.
