In Semester 2, Year 12 Chemistry students undertake an independent project on a topic they choose themselves. This year topics ranged as wide as improving the process of spherification for a recipe being used in hospitality, looking at the degradation of protein by nail glue, studying the extraction of caffeine during the brewing of coffee, looking at the effect of aspirin as a blood thinner, and studying the interaction between different kinds of cloth, dyes and mordants.
