The student wrote a clear and focused research question, incorporating the independent variable (CO2 emissions, Indonesia, and Ecuador) and the dependent variable (average temperature in Indonesia and Ecuador). The work also provided context by discussing the global environmental issue of climate change and its impact on global warming and weather patterns, as well as the local challenges faced by Ecuador. However, the student did not establish a clear connection between the research question and the environmental issue, nor did they explain this connection to the reader. It is important for the student to clarify how CO2 emissions impact Indonesia and Ecuador, based on data or general conditions, to provide a more thorough explanation for their choice of exploration.
