hello. im in grade 10 and my science class is doing a study on catalytic
converters... I have nothing on the subject so far because most websites on
the internet give prices and how much a new catalytic converter would cost...
but that is not what Im looking for... I would highly appreciate it if any
one knew any thing on around what time should you replace a catalytic
converter in a car... should you replace it according to the warrenty... or
keep the original cat. till it dies? also id b extremely greatful if any one
knows any thing about how a catalytic converter actually works... I've read
different things of how it works... but nothing ive read has been consistent
in the information... so if any of you know how a cat. works then post it and
let me know...

thanks... clueless teen....

The key to getting information from the internet is to home in on the key
words that identify your subject. You had a good start but then you found
you needed to narrow it a bit.

Google for the following:

"catalytic converter" "how does"

Do not omit the quotation marks.

Hey, kiddo, I forgot you noted that the sites you did look at had
inconsistent information. Well that in itself should be of interest to
someone who reads your report. Maybe indicate how many sites said the CC
works this way; how many said that way. Ultimately, write that you didn't
find a consensus on this aspect, but you did on that one. That's what
someone reading your report might like to know.

Don't let it overwhelm you. You can't get every detail into your report,
because you aren't a multi-degreed engineer and/or 20-year experienced
technician, anyway. Make it general. Put it in your own words. Cite your
sources. Compare and contrast, say, "how a CC works" sites! That might be
interesting.
