No lab lesson in term 3

Yup, as title suggests.
Basically we are learning biology in term 3 - ecology and sexual reproduction in humans. Biology involves living organisms, and doing biology experiments might kill those "guinea pigs" (haha, sometimes literally) involved. To avoid phone calls from SPCA or whatever, we are not doing experiments. For now, at least.
Anyway, no lab lessons mean more time for us in general - more time to do worksheets and practice papers, more time to revise by looking at the textbook, etc. - but obviously without lab lessons we are unable to actually witness the the reactions etc. stated in the textbooks or the thick stacks of notes (that also means less time to say "wow" haha). It might become a bit boring in this case, staring at the textbook trying to understand the long paragraphs of text, compared to staring at the test-tube, waiting for a reaction or observing a currently occurring one.
I hope there's lab lesson in term 4!
