1. A hypothesis is a scientific conjecture, not verified that requires corroboration. It is a possibility, but not a fact.  A hypothesis must express what is expected to occur in a perfectly comprehensive manner. There must be a logical relation between variables. It must be objective. The researcher suggests a hypothesis in order to predict what is going to happen. There are different kinds of hypotheses: descriptive, correlative, differentiative, or causative.  
2. A law is an affirmation based on repeated experimental observations, it is not that might describe one aspect of a natural phenomenon. This means that it is corroborated by facts, and not only by logic. There is a relation cause-effect.  
3. The scientific theory is a conceptual framework used to explain facts or phenomena and to make predictions.  The theory is fundamental to science because it allows scientists to organize and understand observations.  The construction of a theory begins with a hypothesis. The scientist believes that a certain phenomenon occurs in a certain way and so he/she performs observations under the scientific method to prove that his/her hypothesis is valid or not valid. The systematization of the observations as well as of the empirical data collected might derive in a scientific theory that can explain the analyzed phenomenon.  A scientific theory is a knowledge that was contrasted in several ways.
