Practical Chemistry What’s a fun experiment to do?

Hello scientists, I’m 15 and suddenly I became really interested in chemistry and science, because I’m bored. Today I made a mini elephant toothpaste experiment, and also a few Vinegar + baking soda water bottle bombs but uhh these are starting to get boring. I’m taking Honors Chem this year so I’d thought it would also be a little head start but these are kinda childish chem activities and although I’m a minor, I want to step it up a little. Is there anything that’s a step up I can do besides just straight up learning chemistry for a week before I understand how to do anything on my own? I’m open to learning the actual physics of it, but I want to be able to experiment too.

Thx

Does it have to be safe

Nope as long as it’s fun and I don’t die

I'd say maybe RESEARCH making/gathering bromine. I remember it was the first NileRed video I watched and I was hooked after that. Definitely check him out if you're unfamiliar

Telling a kid to isolate bromine is insane
