The student provides a focused and detailed description of the main topic, clearly stating and explaining the topic at the beginning of the investigation. The student also presents a highly appropriate methodology that is focused on answering the research question, correctly identifying the independent and dependent variables. The methodology includes appropriate steps to assure the relevancy and validity of the obtained results, and the student shows full awareness of safety hazards that can arise during the experiment. However, the background information should be expanded significantly to explore relevant topics, and the biology of the experiment should be explained more precisely. Additionally, the student should have stated and explained a null hypothesis. While the student shows awareness of environmental issues, there is a lack of awareness of ethical concerns that can arise during the experiment.
