The student provides a focused and detailed description of the aim of the experiment, which is to investigate the relationship between temperature and the rate of decomposition of carbonic acid. The chemistry is explained well enough for the reader to fully and easily understand it without the need of rereading, with the chemical principles of reaction kinetics relevant to the experiment explained well. The methodology is focused on answering the research question and includes appropriate steps to assure the relevancy and validity of the obtained results, with the student showing full awareness of safety hazards, ethical concerns, and environmental issues that can arise during the experiment. However, the research question is present but not detailed and is not written in the form of a question, and the methodology of the investigation is highly appropriate to the topic but has a few uncontrolled variables that lower its reliability. The division into background information and introduction section does not feel justified by any distinct difference in the type of information conveyed.
