Sodium hydroxide [Australia]

Hi,

I am doing a chemistry assignment on sodium hydroxide and was wondering if there are any experiments I can put in my assignment that uses sodium hydroxide or creates it.

Research how aboriginal people made soap and then try to make some. Caustic soda is used in the manufacture of soap today, and you may find out why it's better and/or easier.
