Q: Turn the hot plate on and let the beaker heat up gradually so that the thermal shock doesn't cause it to shatter. Wrap the mud in the towels and soak the mud in alcohol. The mud will take on the appearance of metal and will be 99 percent pure if you performed the process correctly. You can then take it to a jeweler or to a precious metals dealer to exchange it for cash if you desire.
A: Place your beaker onto a hot plate. Continue heating the mud until it develops a powder-like consistency. Pour the mud onto multiple layers of paper towels. Place the mud into a graphite crucible and melt it. Pour the gold into an ingot mold.

Q: Some topics and projects will call for primary research, which means that you'll collect the data yourself. If you've got a really localized topic--like the obesity problem at your University, for instance--you might want to consider creating a short questionnaire or other way of analyzing data of concern to your project. No surveys or questionnaires get to everyone. How many would be enough to get a good sense of the issue. Will it mean anything to gather opinions about obesity form 20 guys in the locker room? Everyone on your dorm floor? 300 people at the football game? Be conscious of bias. Aim for a somewhat distributed mix of men and women, of different ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and places of birth. If you're after opinions, a questionnaire is the best and most efficient way of collecting data, but it might not be particularly applicable to your topic. If you're interested in food habits and the availability of junk food in cafeterias, consider posting up beside the lunch line a few days a week and counting the number of students who forego the full lunches in favor of deserts, sodas, or candy. Keep a running tally. Interviews might be good if you have access to experts or other parties involved directly in the topic you're researching. If you want to learn about school lunches, talk to the lunch workers, the principal of your school, or other people who may be involved. Let them know what you're researching and explain the project before talking to them. Once you've picked a method of collection, distribute your surveys, observe your behaviors, or conduct your interviews and collect your research. Analyze the research and summarize your findings in a way that you'll be able to use it for your research. If your hypothesis about the research ends up being wrong, don't fret. This in and of itself can be a good source of information to present in a project, displaying your commitment to finding out "the truth" of the topic at hand.
A: Perform primary research for local or subjective subjects, if the project calls for it. Find a sample size that works for you. Decide how you'll collect your data. Gather your research.

Q: Prepare yourself by researching potential questions and writing down your answers. Ask your friends or family to test you with these questions by creating a mock interviewer. Much like an exam or presentation for school, you will be less likely to fumble on your words or be nervous if you have rehearsed and studied. For example, if you are applying to a magazine the employer may ask something like, "What was your favourite article of last month's issue and why? What section do you think you can contribute to this month?" Be prepared to go through scenarios of how you can immediately contribute to the position as well as long term. Employers are not just looking for your individual talent but also how it fits with their brand. Be passionate about the job you are applying for and the company that you are hoping to join. Employers do not want to add individuals who do not have the company's best interest in mind. Get your foot in the door by being open to a variety of positions. If you are passionate about the fashion industry, you will be able to work yourself into the position that you truly want. Be flexible with job offers as you may not see the potential that your employer does. She may see your tenacity and fashion sense eventually moving you up within the company but that you obviously lack the immediate technical skills the employer needs. Internships may be unpaid but garner you valuable experience and a chance to expand your network. Work hard and keep a positive attitude. Internships may lead to full-time employment if your employer sees you as a valuable asset. You must be reliable and treat yourself as an indispensable member of the team.
A:
Research the company and the interviewer or interviewers. Keep a passionate but open mind. Accept an intern position.
