I remember in chemistry class in high school (in Sweden), where we'd do lab work in pairs often. I'd pair up with the other actually smart and interested guy in class and we'd divide the work between us: One of us would start doing the theoretical work, calculating what numbers we should be getting, and the other would do the experiment. Then we'd adjust all our findings to be within what was theoretically reasonable.

We got good grades.

Is it like 5 people doing real science and everybody copying their homework? I mean, we've got technology to prove that a lot of natural science must be right in some way, so somebody is doing real discovery and real experiments. Right?
