Theory;
Laws are typically part of a specific theory, though this may not always be obvious. For example, the conservation of matter is part of the Newtonian world view that things can't just appear from nowhere. In quantum physics they can, so this law has to be modified.
Hypotheses;
A hypothesis is normally a statement about one part of a theory that you can go out and test by experiment or observation.
Conjectures;
A conjecture is at least one degree weaker than a hypothesis.

A conjecture takes the form:
We have good grounds to accept that such-and-such is the case though it may not be. Let's accept that it is and build other ideas on top of it..
