The lab would be used to test your hypothesis to whether or not you were correct. You would first want to form a hypothesis and then gather data to support or discredit your hypothesis. The hypothesis could be testing anything essentially.

To come up with a hypothesis for a lab experiment, you need to make an educated guess or prediction about the relationship between two variables in the experiment. Review background research, identify the independent and dependent variables, and consider how changes in the independent variable might affect the dependent variable. Formulate a concise statement that captures this relationship and serves as the basis for your experiment.
The Scientific Method first starts with formulation of a question. Any question that is testable will do. The next step is to come up with an educated guess about your question. After the guess is made a prediction about the hypothesis (usually whether it is correct or not) is made. You then next test your Hypothesis using an experiment. After you test your Hypothesis you Analyse the data to discover whether or not the prediction about the Hypothesis is, or is not, supported.

The two parts of a hypothesis are the null hypothesis, which states that there is no significant difference or relationship, and the alternative hypothesis, which suggests that there is a significant difference or relationship between variables.
