The student provides a focused and detailed description of the main topic, which is to examine the effect of temperature on the rate of the reaction that occurs in glowsticks. They also explain the relevant background information, including the mechanism of how glowsticks work and react, and the concept of activation energy and rates of reaction. The methodology is appropriate to the topic and includes steps to assure the validity of the results, and the student shows full awareness of safety, ethical, and environmental concerns that can arise during the experiment. However, the research question should be restated to be more detailed.
