A+Research+Project

Is there any part of chemistry you have found interesting, wonder where it came from, or perhaps why? We're going to get that opportunity as part of an end of the year research project. It's important for us as scientists to know the scientific method. We should know how to use it, and how using it can help us to understand something better. Understanding things better opens up ever more ways to, er, understand more things better. Choose a topic of some aspect of chemistry that has sparked a bit of interest within you. On your own, go get some information about it - who, what, when, how, why, etc.. Keep notes and references so you can find your information again - you'll be using it to show us something about it - and let it roll around in your brain...ruminate... We'll come back to it very soon. Here's a few books that might help you get started. They are listed on my Shelfari page as "wish list" books for now because it is the simplest way to list them for you to peruse - NOT because I want you to buy them for me ;-)
