What is a prediction in the scientific method?

What comes first hypothesis or prediction?

OBSERVATION is first step, so that you know how you want to go about your research. HYPOTHESIS is the answer you think you’ll find. PREDICTION is your specific belief about the scientific idea: If my hypothesis is true, then I predict we will discover this. CONCLUSION is the answer that the experiment gives.

What are qualities of any good scientific hypothesis?

The two primary features of a scientific hypothesis are falsifiability and testability, which are reflected in an “If…then” statement summarizing the idea and in the ability to be supported or refuted through observation and experimentation.
