Sources for Science Fair?

[Antiares]

I decided to do a Science fair lab on the decomposition of several carbonates. Where can I find sources? I've tried using the databases that my school provides, but I'm not finding anything really pertinent to what I want to do.

Just google stuff and maybe steal some courses from wiki's reference lists at the bottom

OMG That link was such a godsend! Thanks!

BTW, which Wikipedia articles should I use to get references from?

Umm actually, I kept looking and there is a wiki page on carbonates, but not a ton over the decomp of it sorry =/

There seem to be a ton of published experiments pertaining to several different metal carbonates, so those might be helpful if you know which carbonates you plan on doing.

Thanks! BTW I'm doing Calcium, Copper, Sodium, and Zinc Carbonates

First one is really complex, but if you can make sense out of it, it seemed pretty informative.

2nd one is an experiment, I didn't really read it, but a glance made it look pretty good for its purpose.
