What is Hypothisis?
A hypothesis is a prediciton you make before you carry out and investigation. The investigation should prove your hypothesis right or wrong.
What are two possible outcomes to prove an experiments hypothesis?
To prove the hypothesis. To disprove the hypothesis.
Why is it just as important to prove a hypothesis is wrong as to prove it is right?
Its important to prove a hypotheses is wrong as it is to prove it right because when you set out to do a lab, you must make your prediction before you start. When you are finished with the lab, you write your report, and that is the time to either prove or disprove your theory. Science isn't all about getting the right hypothesis or answer; it's more about thinking and understanding.
What is meant by saying that a hypothesis is must be testable?
A 'testable' hypothesis is one in which you are able to conduct experiments in able to prove right or wrong.

What is impossible to do a hypothesis?
It is impossible to prove a hypothesis. It can only be disproved.
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.
How did your experiment prove or disprove the hypothesis?
That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.
What come after hypothesis?
A theory
Is a scientific hypothesis accepted if there is no way way to prove that the hypothesis is wrong?
No. Not being able to prove something is NOT the same as it being true.
How is a hypothesis is tested?
conducting experiment
