And for the physics course, that's true, but where is the experimentation with that? (Besides, I haven't taken physics yet, sadly. Not open for me until next year. )
I applaud your curiosity/experimentation.... that is how we find out new things...

You should be in my AP Physics class... we actually do some of that experimentation in here...sometimes we even use robots..
Most of the greatest physicists that have ever lived have been great experimenters and observers... You might want to find out more about Michael Faraday.... great physicist... great experimenter....even greater observer...

keep up the good work!!
