A hypotheses is simply and educated guess. You use the information you know to be true, to make an educated guess on what will happen. Then you continue with your experiment and see if your hypotheses was correct. The largest difference between a hypotheses and a guess is simply the amount of information you apply to the question before guessing the answer.

If you state simply, "If I mashed this object and this object together, I guess Object A will break, and Object B will be just fine" That's a guess.

Now, if you actually collect the information from the two objects and note that Object A is made of high carbon steel, and Object B is made of cast iron. The mashing will happen at aprox 100mph. "I Hypotheses that given the new information about the objects, and the test, Object B will crack, or split, while Object A will remain largely undamaged"

Notice how much information is involved with one vs the other?
