A student completed a lab report. Which correctly describes the difference between the “Question” and “Hypothesis” sections of her report?

The Question section states what the student is trying to find out. The Hypothesis gives her prediction—the answer she expects—often written in “if . . . then . . . because” form. It is a prediction made before the experiment, not the experiment’s actual result or its procedures.
