I wanted to see what your avatar was, so I click your profile and it's just "SCIENCE." Golden.

It's just a solution with a pH indicator from a little experiment.
Mr.MeatHook
Oh god, I know this.... pH is...... ummmm...... phosphorus?
MorrowsWings
Its about acid and base
Norik
How can anyone not know what pH is? I blame the American education system.
Mr.MeatHook
But I just started atomic theory in grade 9... I haven't even memorized the periodic table yet... :(
MorrowsWings
Neither have I and I'm going to be an engineer. Its not really needed to know everything about it but can be useful.
Mr.MeatHook
Oh. 'cause our teacher says it's like one of the most important things in science.
MorrowsWings
You teachers will say many things but it isn't. As long you know the basics.

It's going to get worse later on. Especially when you deal with 'activities' when it comes to acid and bases. (>@_@)

It's funny (and also sad) how science "teachers" all over the world simply make kids cram up facts in their little heads instead of doing actual science.

It depends on the types of classes. My labs in chem 311 are worth 40% and the marking is strict strict since it's based on determining unknown samples. My labs in chem 351 is only 20% and the markings is based on understanding the theory of the reactions in my reports.
You need to understand reactions first before you can apply them in real labs. Otherwise, you just follow the procedures in a brain dead manner.
