Research Topic

The current plan for my major is a major in chemistry. So I thought it would be appropriate to choose to research the vast amount of technologies in the chemistry field. There are all sorts of technologies in the chemistry field. the wide range of technologies is so vast I honestly can't comprehend right now many of the technologies out there since I just haven't been exposed to them.

Chemists use the basic chemistry equipment such as beaker, Erlynmeyer flask, Bunsen burners, test tubes, and of course the calculator. There is the more advanced stuff such as electrodes, vacuums, and spectrometers to name a paltry amount of technologies. Advancements of course always being made giving birth to even more new technologies in the varying fields of chemistry and many cool amazing things could come of such new technologies.

Chemistry is always changing like you said and is always for the better. Doing research on this topic you will benefit from and learn things that maybe you didn't already know and help you with your major. I choose to do my research topic pertaining close to my major.

Yours is a refreshingly different topic from what i've seen so far, and what I'm even using for my own. As far as an informative essay goes, I think you've hit a gold mine - I just worry a little that you have too broad of a topic. How will narrow your scope into an organized, 1000 word essay?

Chemistry is a very interesting topic, but it is also a very very broad topic. Where are you going to go from there? I know that chemists are the ones concocting new drugs for diseases such as diabetes and AIDS. That would be an engaging topic to discuss. It would be interesting to see how technology has helped them make these advancements.
