Due the day after tomorrow, huh? : | Oh well.
You might give this a shot, and it shouldn't be diffucult to find much info online about it too.
So often, it goes unnoticed, but is used everyday. The water you drink is already special -it has so many uses and is a really interesting and versitle compound, but a hot button issue in many places is whether or not your drinking water should be FLUORIDATED. Fluorine (make sure it's spelled 'u' before 'o' to advoid spelling point reductions) has caused quite a stir for some people because it is a poison. So why is this poison added to city drinking water by the water departments? It helps to fight tooth decay, and helps save millions in dental costs especially among the poor who sometimes can't afford dentistry service in the first place. But yet is still a posion.
Here is where you come in. Do a little research on what fluorine is, how much is harmful, why is it added to water, and maybe how much is added to water. From there, you can write a paper showing how it is a part of daily life, and how chemistry in your life isn't just facts, but also a hot topic to many.
Well, good luck with the research, and with the paper!

Life itself depends on chemical reactions.
When you breathe and take in oxygen, and your body uses the oxygen up and turns it into carbon dioxide and you breathe it out: That's chemistry! When you eat things, and you body digests the food by breaking it down into nutrients: That's chemistry! When the nutrients from the digested food go to your cells to be used for various things that your body needs: That's chemistry! And when your body uses up those chemicals and has to get rid of the waste: That's chemistry!
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Just about everything that happens in "everyday life" happens because of chemical reactions.

You can work on fruit juices and other beverages like colas etc..carry out small analysis to find out how many of them contain glucose/sucrose ie aldoses and ketoses..u can also determine if they contain carboxylic acids,ascorbic acid etc.u can do benedicts/fehling test and lucas test on the different juices.can determine if any kind of OH group is present in those drinks..wt vitamins,wt minerals present.
A similar kind of study can be done on toothpastes..take different brands of toothpastes,carry out tests on them as which ones contain Flouride,bleach,whitening powders and whiche all contains sugar.

It's called cooking. Cooking is chemistry. That should give you plenty to look into.

Im sure you will think of something. Start your projects a wee bit earlier so you dont have to get someone else to do them for you.

um, this is the broadest topic ever.
you can do a project about rust (corrosion), that's in daily life, yes?
