A Hypothesis is a statement or objective one has set out to test or query.

eg An unsupported object will fall when dropped.

This can be proved or disproved through experimentation. After testing the above hypothesis multiple times (with a scientific method) one can deduce the statement that all unsupported objects fall when dropped.

Through more study one can form a scientific theory to explain the happenings in the experimentation. Using the about example the theory of Gravity and its effect on objects can be formed. A scientific theory can be disproven after formation.

TLDR: first comes unproven hypothesis, then after experimentation a scientific theory is formed.

What a similarity between a theory and a hypothesis?
