The student provided a focused and detailed description of the main topic, particularly in the introduction, where the research question about the association between green moss and lichen on tree bark was articulated. However, the research question itself lacked clarity and could benefit from rephrasing for precision. The background information was relevant, but needed more depth regarding the differences between moss and vascular plants. The student effectively explained key biological concepts, hypotheses and employed an appropriate methodology that focused on answering the research question. While the methodology was generally sound, it could have included more details to ensure the validity of the results, and there were areas for improvement in addressing ethical concerns. Nonetheless, the student demonstrated awareness of safety and environmental issues throughout the investigation.
