Well, usually the experiments they make you do are already designed for you. That can be boring (or not, depending on your personal tastes and all that -- I'm a lab rat, and I love experiments and understanding why they work and all that). These kids went to the camp to discover physics laws again, and thus posed the questions in a group and designed the experiments to answer them. Physic teacher(s) were there much as a peer review group, to point out flaws in the design or the conclusions.

I do know that there must be people who don't like designing experiments, but I think that if you don't, in general it's a good bet that you don't like science, because science is basically that struggle to get answers. (Which is fine! I just think much more people would love science if it would be presented as such, and not the bizarre thing they usually teach.)

(I was told I was good at it, too. But, one, I didn't know that many lady scientists who had discovered things and the like, and two, I have two elder brothers who're brilliant, so I pretty much grew up comparing myself to them and failing in my own eyes.)
