The student has identified a focused and detailed topic of investigation, although it is not stated at the beginning of the work. The aim of the investigation, however, is clearly described. The student has not provided a relevant and fully focused research question. The research question section lacks an appropriate research question and instead provides a general topic of investigation. The student's explanation of the physics behind the topic is sufficient in the Introduction and Background sections, but the simulation used to generate data is not described. The methodology of the investigation is clear and easy to follow, with subdivisions in the Variables, Manipulation of Variables, Apparatus, Procedure/Methodology, Set Up, and Risk Assessment sections. However, the methodology does not focus on addressing the research question, as the student does not explain how the length of the pendulum will be adjusted or provide specific values and units for the variable. The student correctly lists the variables that need to be controlled, but does not provide justifications or control methods. The student shows full awareness of safety hazards, but does not mention ethical or environmental issues.
