Choosing a project based on standard school reagents is practical—test for aldehydes with Tollens' reagent or study esterification kinetics. But the obvious choice is copper thermite for a 'wow' factor, which our lab strictly forbids. My life in a metro school means our shelf is locked after the acetic acid incident last year, so ambitious projects get rejected outright. You learn more by perfecting a permitted experiment than fighting for banned chemicals, isn't it?
