Chemistry HL planning lab help

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a sample planning lab because my teacher makes everything so confusing. We are doing an inclass lab on December 15. Any samples or suggestions on my planning lab would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

did ur teacher giv u a specific topic or subject area that you can do your lab for? our teacher normally gives us which topic to do this in (e.g. like redox chemistry etc)

Thanks for all your help. I'm still a bit confused on the quantitative part for the hypothesis.

"This should be quantitative if you're hypothesis warrants it, for example you may have to include a sample calculation of any mole, thermochemistry, titration etc."

Is it that I put any value in my calculation and show a sample calculation or do I do the calculation with the variables? Im new to this and we have only done two labs so far and they are cook-book style labs so this IB lab that we have to do in class and don't even have any idea what is the topic is going to be is a big jump. From what I heard in our school last year, most of the people failed it so I'm terrified.
