IA: Examples of database investigations? + Developing your approach?

[Guest]

For context - SL student

Hi guys, my school just started the chem IA process. I have a few (rather weak) topic ideas for experimental investigations, but would prefer to do a database ia because I'm lowkey terrible at lab work. My teacher also hasn't really told us how to go about developing methodology and approach so I'm a little clueless. Any examples of database IAs I can view? 

Also, how do you go from the initial topic idea to developing a methodology and approach? Do you look for existing experiments and modify their procedures?

Finally, is there anywhere I can look for topic STIMULUS? (not topics, I'm not that lazy, but interesting chem things that could spark some ideas)

Any advice is much appreciated
