How to find a topic:
  • Look through notes
  • Look through labs
  • Go back through the website
  • Find something that interests you related to Chemistry this year so far
  • It can be a topic you present or an actual project that you present.

I added some videos to help you out with basic understanding & notes for the research.  WATCH them. They are mostly short.

1.   What is a Colloid and its characteristics (including foam, aerosol, emulsion, sol, and gel)?  Watch: (Types of Colloids and Their Properties | Professor Dave Explains--about first 5 minutes)
2.  Brownian motion:  (What Is Brownian Motion? | Properties of Matter | Chemistry | FuseSchool)
3.  Tyndall effect:  (The Tyndall Effect Experiment)
4.  How do you raise the boiling point of a solution?
5.  How do you lower the freezing point of a solution?
6.  Electrolytes: (What Do Electrolytes Actually Do?)
7.  Osmosis: (Important Concepts of Osmosis : Chemistry Lessons)
8.  Vapor pressure: (Vapor Pressure)
