The student's proposed method for the exploration lacks some key elements. The various pH concentrations mentioned in the methodology should have been included as part of the independent variable, and a justification for the method chosen is needed. However, the proposed method is described sufficiently to be replicated, and the student has included information about the risks associated with the technique and how to mitigate them. On the other hand, the sampling approach, its reasoning, and environmental considerations were not outlined in the exploration, which is essential for a robust research methodology. The student did, however, include ethical concerns related to the disposal of the acid, demonstrating an awareness of potential ethical implications.
