    Just an idea, my mate in 6th year last year analysed the amount of some iron compound in irn bru and it got the best marks in the central belt? Just an idea :P

    This seems like a really interesting idea(we've not even started our projects yet or even know what were doing..so i'm trying to bank up on good ideas) and i was wondering if you could possibly give me a summary of what you actually do for this one if possible
    Have a look at this - http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/Images/...cm4-123933.pdf - it should give you a nice look at the wine one and some others.

    no idea, just know it was the top in the school and he got an A band 1 and an award which means he got 90%+

    Don't worry, we didn't finish the course until like the end of April last year and I finished my investigation the morning it was getting picked up.

    Basically you just have to know that zinc doesn't act much like a transition metal, so it's D.
