An experiment should be designed to answer a specific question.
The aim
Type your answer here... Hypothesis is your guess/prediction to the results of an experiment and also in relation to the aim of the experiment.

Aim of an experiment to show that starch is produced in the presence of sunlight
The aim is the goal of the experiment, for example, you may be turning milk into plastic. So the aim is to turn milk into plastic. The hypothesis is what you THINK will happen. So you might think that the milk will turn into a substance quite unlike plastic. So the aim can be quite different to a hypothesis, or very similar!
Your hypothesis is like a good guess or prediction of what you expect to find from carrying out your experiment - in other words, it is like an answer to your aim.
find out the aim of the experiment first.
The procedure of an experiment is the step-by-step sequence, usually written down, that describes what will be done during the experiment. The aim, or objective, of the experiment, is to prove or disprove the hypothesis which was formulated in order to run the experiment. Alternatively, the objective can be to measure something, such as the torque / horsepower curve of a motor as a function of input power.
If you are writing a practical report it can be very small! Often the aim is, simply stated, the hypothesis you are trying to test.
it is to help keep you on track in the experiment, and to make sure you have something to aim for.
