What would be a good High School Chemistry Quarterly Lab Project?

Explain the reaction of Potassium Nitrate mixed with Amonia Sulfite,with a pinch of Magnesium powder,and a foot of Magnesium Ribbon,and last but not least Benzyl Chloride. It is very important you use Benzyl Chloride.

Chemical reactions are fun how about a baking soda volcano?\nor you can make an experiment showing air pressure and oxygen use, use a big clear jar( mayo peanut butter) a pie plate a bit of modeling clay a candle and some colored water and some pennies.\nplace the clay  in the center of the pie plate\nplace the pennies 2 or 3 high( you may wish to tape them, make 3 or 4 sets set them around the clay so they will support the jar up from the bottom of the pie plate\nplace a birthday candle into the clay  fill the pie plate with enough colored water to cover the edge of the jar and a little more when it is upside down on the pennies\nnow remove the jar, light the candle and replace the jar over it.\nThe candle will go out. this shows that fire needs oxygen and uses the oxygen in the jar.\nIf your jar is not too big you will see the water rise up into the jar. The gas in the jar has changed, it does not have the same pressure it did before the oxygen was removed. The pressure from the outside air makes the water rise. This demonstrates air pressure. Have the teacher light the candle. try it at home a few times you may have to change jar or glass size to get a good effect.\nI do not recommend the electric pickle experiment.

My son who was in 8th grade last year did one on how acids like those in lemon juice changed the structure of sugar. The compared them to an alkaline base such as milk. It was pretty neat because when he added the lemon juice to the sugar a chemical reaction occurred. He won. You can also do something if you are allowed to work with chemicals of how HCl hydrochloric acid can cook an egg or how it is neutralized by a base such as mylanta. Check with your teacher on that one. \n\nNot knowing what you are studying to this point I am sending you a link that has a lot of ideas. Good Luck.

You want to create a class library project.

I'd suggest a thorough understanding of chemistry and physics. You need to know trajectory and what to mix with what to get the different colors.

Measure concentration. Use a dummy (with water only) measuring that with a LabPro probe. Then compare that to a certain volume of a variable soft drink. I did this in high school, hope it works!

Unless you are at a school of technology,with more tech that I have seen in a highschool, both of your example projects are way out of reach.  and unless you improve your english,written and I am assunimg verbal, it wont matter what project you turn in.  My high school project was the effect of different diets, high fat, high cholesterol, high salt and high protein  on the performance of albino rats in simple to complex mazes.  The project lasted the entire school year.

If you go onto "google.com" or "yahoo.com" and do a search on "5th grade Science Fair Projects", you will get many ideas.  Just pick the one you find most interesting.

Walk over to the science lab and ask one of the professors, or if you are a middle school student, ask one of the teachers.  I am assuming this is for a legal purpose of course.

Need more info in order to help you...what class level?...what field of chem?...writing project or lab demo?...what is an 'investigatory project'?\nPlease resubmit your question anew with as much info as possible so that we can offer reasonable suggestions...if you simply edit this one we cannot reply twice to same question.

I think a high school student needs to be familiar with the traditional display. But if you want to emphasize certain properties it's fun to rearrage things. I always preferred the 3D cylidrical display with the Lanthanides and Actinides looping out from a single spot - makes the inner electron orbitals visually obvious. Some of the animated table are interesting but they never show the proper orbital shapes. It all depends on what you want to emphasize - I think using a variety will show how chemistry and physics are intertwined.

The best project will be one that has some interest to the 8th grader. So my granddaughter likes animals. But my youngest boy likes photography. So a pinhole camera would bore my granddaughter but would have caught the interest of my son.\n\nThat being said... Here's an easy one. Go to a store and find some cheap analog clocks (clocks with hands) that run on a single AA battery. Then go to Radio Shack and get some battery holders and some "aligator clip leads" -- short wires with clips on either side. And get a bunch of different brand batteries of different sizes (if you are trying to get by simply, use only AA batteries and then you just need the clocks and the batteries).\n\nTake off the battery covers and hook up the battery holders to the clocks with the clipleads (unless you are only using AA batteries). Then put batteries in and see how long it takes for the clocks to run down. This may take a long time. If you are short on time, try this. Get a flashlight bulb at radio shack and put it across the battery with the clock. So this way the battery is running the clock and the flashlight bulb at the same time. Note the time on the the clock and check it every day to see when the clock stops. You can graph the results easily.\n\nQuestions (form a hypothesis and answer one or more of these):\nWhat lasts longer, a AA, a C, or a D battery?\nWhat brand of battery lasts longer?\nWhat lasts longer, a standard carbon-zinc battery or an alkaline battery? What is the cost difference per unit? Per run time?\n\nA little research on the internet about how batteries are built, and the different technologies (carbon-zinc, alkaline, nicad, NiMh, lithium, lead-acid) and you have a great project.
