What resources will you have investigating? Just visual, or do you get access to a chem lab?

First - get access to as many of these chemicals as you can ahead of time and carefully observe it. Look at it, shake it around, see if it dissolves in water, maybe see if it dissolves in other common solvents, etc. Read about each of them on Wikipedia whether or not you have the chem lab access.
