You can find a good answer at Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis
Basically, formulating a hypothesis is making an educated guess at an explanation for an observation. Testing a hypothesis is designing an experiment to see if the hypothesis works. Refuting a hypothesis means that you've determined experimentally that the hypothesis fails.
