what is Hypothesis-Driven Science?

Question

I need help to figure out how to start an essay based on Hypothesis-driven Science

Answer 1

Basically it works a little like this.

Someone makes an observation. They wonder what the reason for that observation is.

The come up with a possible explanation. This is their hypothesis. They do controlled experiments to prove or disprove their hypothesis. If their hypothesis is proven false they will develop an alternative hypothesis and test that. Generally speaking the quality of the proof is judged by scientific peers.

Answer 2

you suggest a hypothesis, then use it to explain known evidence on the matter, and show why your explanation is better than other hypothesises.
