I think i know what you're asking - an organization known as ChemCom does workshops for high school students - check this site out:\n\nhttp://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/acsdisplay.html?DOC=education%5Cprofessional%5Cccworks.html

I would suggest the rock cycle. This is a basic earth science project that you can make as simple or complex as you want. You can identify the three major parts and how they interact going from one part of the cycle to another. You can identify the different properties of these rocks (and find samples if you want). If you want to make it really elaborate, you can bring in how plate tectonics drives the rock cycle, and how volcanism, metamorphism, and sedimentation form the Earth's surfaces.\n\nAnother topic that might be interesting to you would be to identify all the products and materials around you that come from rocks and minerals. Since this includes almost everything (e.g gypsum wallboard, clay in ceramics, iron in cars, aluminum in beverage containers and cars, plastic made from oil, shampoo made from oil, household detergent made from oil, electricity made from burning coal and natural gas, salt on your table, etc). You could look for the most surprising things, and could perhaps include how soil is made from weathered rock so even trees and plants come from rocks. You can do some research on how each of these materials is mined and where it comes from. You get the idea, right? \n\nDepending on where you live, you might do something on natural hazards in your area.If you have earthquakes you could find a fault map for your area and research earthquake hazards. If you have landslides or coastal erosion you could research what causes these things. Of course, if you live next to a volcano that is an excellent topic.  For example, see if you can find an eruption hazard map.  You might want to make sure your teacher approved of this because it might not be within the scope of your class (some teachers might consider this geography more than earth science). \n\nJust a bunch of ideas from a geologist. Hope this helps.

Probably the kind in the syllabus.  You can probably get an idea on-line by searching for information on that class on the school's website.

Fast, simple crystal growing projects\nA salt garden (Good for classroom demonstrations.)\nThe simplest, fastest crystals of all to grow (Good for classroom demonstrations.)\nSuper-fast crystals (At last that's what one site claimed. I rate this as a dud.)\nHow to grow a borax snowflake (Good for classroom demonstrations.)\nA super-fast crystal growing technique that really works (Good for classrooms.)\nSoap crystals (Dud number 2)\nHow to grow stalactites and stalagmites (Good for classroom demonstrations.)\nSalt crystals\nVinegar/salt garden (another dud)\nBicarbonate of soda crystals (a semi-dud)

You might be looking for information on alchemy, not chemistry.  The two fields of study are very seperate these days.  Of course, modern scientits could turn lead into gold by nuclear fusion, or turn heavier elements into gold by fission- neither process seems practical.

Believe it or not, classmates.com has a place where you can go. If there is not already a group for your class, you can start one yourself. You would be suprised who will repsond.

I just did a bomb calorimeter experiment in my physical chemistry lab, I am sure most universities with chemistry programs will have them.

There is ChemDraw, that you can buy\n\nChemSketch is offered online as freeware or shareware (I forget)\n\nIf you want a program that does computational chemistry calculations (DF Theory or Ad Hoc, etc) you might look at buying Spartan.

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask.  It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.  \nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice.  Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions.  Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

You want to create a class library project.

I've heard there is a school for this in Cali. sorry that is all I know. GD Luck!
