COMPARE A HYPOTHESIS WITHA THEORY

Start with definitions of the two. Then think of examples of each and compare.

Here are two definitons. Your text book may have definitions to work with.

Hypothesis.
A statement that explains or makes generalizations about a set of facts or principles, usually forming a basis for possible experiments to confirm its viability.

Theory
A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
