The student has provided a detailed and focused description of the research question, including the independent and dependent variables along with their units. Additionally, the background information provided is relevant and complete, discussing the combustion of cooking oils, the types of fatty acids present, and the impact of unsaturation on energy storage in the oils' bonds. The chemistry behind the experiment is explained well enough for the reader to understand in a single reading. The methodology chosen is highly appropriate and focused on answering the research question, including relevant steps to assure the validity of the obtained results. The student also demonstrates full awareness of safety hazards and environmental issues associated with the experiment. However, the description of the main topic lacks focus and detail, and there is a missed opportunity to address ethical concerns.
