is it true that an experiment is meant to prove that the hypothesis is correct?
An experiment is performed to generate more data. If the data proves to not support the hypothesis the experiment was still useful. You could reproduce your experiment to see if it is performing the way it should. After you have confirmed the experiment is performing correctly you then could devise another experiment to further test your hypothesis or accept the result and revise your hypothesis.
Are hypothesis ever incorrect in an experimentation?
Yes. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation of some observable event. An experiment is designed to test if the hypothesis is possibly correct. Broadly speaking, there are three possible results of an experiment.The results are inconclusive (for example, the experiment was not designed well or some unplanned event occurred).The hypothesis is disproved (the experiment showed that the hypothesis was not a good explanation).The hypothesis is shown to be possible (a hypothesis can never be proven correct because the results could be caused by some factor not considered in the experiment).

How does an experiment test the hypothesis?
because your hypothesis could be right or wrong
What did the experiment test the hypothesis?
if animals could have swag

Could you provide a sentence for Hypothesis?
The Scientist gave a very strong Hypothesis on his experiment
How could a hypothesis still be correct even though the expieriment says it's wrong?
There are a couple of ways. One might be that the experiment didn't really test the hypothesis due to poor design. Another might be that there are other factors which are masking the effects predicted by the hypothesis. Finally, there's also the possibility that the experiment was done by Dr. Fumblethumbs, whose experimental error bars are so large that none of his experiments actually mean anything.
What is learned if the data from an experiment do not support the hypothosis?
It could point to that the hypothesis was wrong.
How can a rejected hypothesis be of value to a scientist?
the reason why a rejected hypothesis can still be of value to a scientist is because that secific hyothesis may not work for your experiment but it could work for a different experiment/theory
Experiments can be used to show what?
Causation
Did Spallanzani's experiment disprove the hypothesis that microorganisms could arise spontaneously from a vital force contained in the air?
No, it didn't disprove the hypothesis.
