This post makes a good point. Many educators (and education theorists) labour under the illusion that scientists create and then test hypotheses. Modern science does not work that way, and has not for some time. "Rather than test hypotheses, scientists do experiments to influence their models of how the world works. The hypotheses they test come out of those models, and a 'failed' experiment doesn't disprove the hypotheses as much as it feeds more information into developing a more correct model."
