I cant find ideas online...
So I for this project, I need to use household items to demonstrate a redox reaction in front of my classmates. I need the equation, as well as some applications of this reaction real-life.
Any ideas would be super appreciated THANKYOU !!!
Hello, I really need help with ideas for this Chemistry project !!!?

First you need to learn the subject. This is pretty well covered in any basic chemistry text. A handy way to remember the meaning is OIL RIG - Oxidation Is Losing, Reduction Is Gaining. In a wood fire hydrogen is oxidized, two atoms giving up electrons to an oxygen atom, and oxygen is reduced by those two electrons.
Wikipedia.org is the front door to any factual topic. Wikipedia is not a reference, only a collection of basic explanations and links to more reliable information.

If you build a fire for your demonstration you can point out that carbon is also oxidized. The yellow part of the flame is carbon and the hard to see blue part is hydrogen.
