a scientific test
When a scientific idea has been tested many times
To test the soundness of your theory.
Scientific law
A scientific law is a statement of a pattern that has been observed. A theory is an explanation that has stood up to repeated test.

When a scientific idea has been tested many times
Yes,
A well tested idea that explains and connects a wide range of observations is a scientific theory. This is sometimes confused with a scientific law.
* Investigation involving observation and theory to test scientific hypotheses
To test the soundness of your theory.
The scientific process is the seek of rational and reliable claim. Any idea to develop to scientific theory must pass the falsifiability test. The test procedure must be reviewed to exclude any bias of human judgement. The evidence result must be examined for margin of error.
A hypothesis is simply an idea that you would like to test. This sounds a lot like a theory, but in terms of the scientific method, you idea only qualifies as a theory if you obtain some confirmation by means of your research. Until then, it's just a hypothesis.

Scientific Method
The Scientific Method
A hypothesis is any idea used to explain and test a scientific idea, while a theory is a hypothesis that has become scientifically accepted. For example, say I hypothesize that rocks in a stream are worn smooth by erosion. This is a hypothesis of sorts. I test this hypothesis by putting rocks in a room and in a stream, and conclude that the stream rocks have been worn smooth. If I complete multiple tests and the scientific community believes in my conclusion, I would call it the Theory of Water Erosion, or something similar.
