The student provides a focused and detailed description of the main topic, research question, and relevant background information. The biology is explained well enough for the reader to understand, but some information on the plant seems redundant. The methodology is highly appropriate to the topic and focused on answering the research question, with appropriate steps taken to assure the validity of the obtained results. The student also shows full awareness of safety hazards, ethical concerns, and environmental issues that can arise during the experiment. However, the student should include both null and alternative hypotheses in the hypothesis section.
