A proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations. e.g. Henry notices that his Dad's Honda uses less fuel on motorways in the summer than the winter. He comes up with a hypothesis to explain this: air is denser in the winter because it's colder so air resistance on the car is greater, even at the same speed. An hypothesis is often tested scientifically by making measurements and analysing the results. q.v. Prediction.
