Yeah, but "sunnybayes", about your pointless physics lab...
I would take the tiime to appreciate it because it's showing you how to make a hypothesis and turn it into an experiment!

Do you know how difficult that is?
Let's see, einstien made hypothese about relativity, and then people had to come along and think of experiments to verify it's truth. It shows a deeper understanding of the subject if you can think of ways to verify it experimentally.

So take your silly experiment, and see if you can think of an experiment that will verify it. You should be using these labs as models/ guides that show you how to go from theory to reality. It's not pointless. Write your own experiments and see how well you do.


Go to your teacher, " I don't want to do this lab, let me make up my own experiment to test this hypothesis/theory." And the very next day you'll be hired by Nasa.
