I was hoping for chemistry or something so you could mix various coloured liquids and make some nice essplosions.
Chemistry's never that exciting in real life. 
Still pisses all over Physics though.
Aw.
I always really wanted a big chemistry set when I was little but never got one.
Chemistry lessons never really lived up to the hype, I must admit.
My friend had her physics practical today, and isn't optimistic.
I dropped science as soon as I could. And I guess we didn't do practicals for the GCSE exams, as I don't remember any...
What do you do in a physics practical? I mean, what boring thing, specifically.
Chemistry was still the best of the three, but only because you got to use bunsen burners every blue moon.
By 'you', I mean 'one', obviously.
Incorrect. Physics was the best!

Me too. We didn't even have an exam, it was all 100% modular. Which is why I got AA in a subject I was useless at.

Bunsen Burner fun 
every lesson someone would smash a test tube and people would loose their minds thinking they'd get mercury poisoning lol! Stupid kids.

I think given the choice between double physics and double hammering-nails-into-my-ballbag, I'd have opted for the latter.

Or throwing water into some geek's face so they thought it was acid and would run around screaming.
I fell for it every time. 
Oh we had looads of science exams. (which is how I got a DD)
Worst mark I've ever got for anything!
Bunsen burners were fun I must admit. And all the weird smelling chemicals. Annnnd, PH paper! Don't know why but I always liked that.

Did you used to do the acid tests? and you'd line up a bunch of concoctions and pour them on things/people to see the reaction. Hoping someone had stolen the acid out of the cupboard. But lets face it that acid was the weakest shit in the world.

PH Paper! lol! Like a pregnancy test for your experiment. It's gone blue a success!
Magnesium strips were fun set them alight and they go up like sparklers
Physics she had to compare the action of a biuret moving water to something else, do something with a resistor, and plan a...thing...Basically I have no clue.

I've always liked DD myself... 
Actually, thinking about it, most of the chemistry equipment was quite fun. I even liked the funny test tube holder that looks strangely like eyelash curlers.

Sounds dull. Magnesium strips FTW.

And the BBQ tongs type instrument.

These are words which have no meaning to me. You may as well be telling me in Swahili.
The third one is the only one I have even half a clue about.
