The student clearly states the independent and dependent variables in the research question, specifying the method of analysis conducted. There is a clear explanation of the choice of techniques used for measuring the independent and dependent variables and a discussion regarding the student’s choice of aspects such as a number of trials and precision of the measurements. The methodology is described sufficiently, including detailed steps of the procedure, names of materials, etc., to allow for the investigation to be reproduced, without any irrelevant or repetitive information. The student also addresses safety, ethical, and environmental issues associated with the investigation. Overall, the student's IA demonstrates a strong understanding of the research question and methodology, with clear and thorough explanations throughout. One aspect that should be improved though is the appropriate record of the Latin names of the species included in the work.
