How can scientist test a hypothesis if it is not possible to do a controlled experiment?

If they can't do a controlled experiment chances are they're advanced and know what they're doing. Depending on the experiment itself, the scientist would have to come up with a procedure that doesn't involve a control. Although there may be no official control, they probably still compare the results to something.

What are two types of scientific investigations that scientist use when a controlled experiment is not practical?
When a controlled experiment is not possible or practical, two types of scientific investigations are observation and modeling.
What should a scientist do if a hypothesis is not supported?
If I was the scientist you would test is as soon as possible then just skip the hypothesis step
When a controlled experiment is not possible why do scientists try to identify as many relevants as possible?
to gather data from data to create an controlled experiment
When a controlled experiment is not possible why do scientists try to identify as many relevant variables as possible?
to gather data from data to create an controlled experiment
Are hypothesis ever incorrect in an experimentation?
Yes. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation of some observable event. An experiment is designed to test if the hypothesis is possibly correct. Broadly speaking, there are three possible results of an experiment.The results are inconclusive (for example, the experiment was not designed well or some unplanned event occurred).The hypothesis is disproved (the experiment showed that the hypothesis was not a good explanation).The hypothesis is shown to be possible (a hypothesis can never be proven correct because the results could be caused by some factor not considered in the experiment).
How do scientist?
He or she states the problemThe scientist forms a hypothesis, a possible solution to the problem. The simplest solution is often the best solution.Next, a scientist might want to perform a controlled experiment. A controlled experiment can give a scientist more information about his or hers hypothesis.Results are recorded and analyzed.Using the data the scientist can develop a conclusion.

What is a possible explanation or outcome for the experiment?
Hypothesis =)
For what do scientists use the data from a controlled experiment?
Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed at a time. All other variables should be kept untouched and unchanged. Scientists use the data from a controlled experiment to explain the steps and outcomes that produced their final product.
