Does true science start with a conclusion and then an experiment to support it?

J P: Does true science start with a conclusion and then an experiment to support it?
Usually science would begin with observations and a hypothesis. But i’m beginning to think that a conclusion from a previous experiment would be a cause to start up a new experiment.
Would true science be?

a hypothesis is a conclusion that has yet to be proven, so yes..

Answer by Dex
Actually, the purpose of science can be to disprove a hypothesis as much to prove one. Skepticism is essential to the scientific process, so performing an experiment to support a conclusion or hypothesis is only half the procedure.

Also, your conclusions from a previous experiment are really just observations of a different type. So you really need to start with a hypothesis rather than a conclusion about your upcoming experiment.
