Criteria Feedback
- Research question is precise and focused, specifying organism, pH levels and response variable
- Introduction clearly outlines causes and consequences of acid deposition with quantitative citation
- Logical, continuous explanation linking acid rain chemistry to nutrient availability and germination
- Some repetition of the research question and minor grammar issues
- Missing citation for the pH of normal rain
- Figure captions lack full source information

Criteria Feedback
- Procedure is clearly numbered and repeatable with appropriate controls and sufficient replicates (100 seeds)
- Rationale given for organism choice, pH range and pH meter calibration
- Evening checks and temperature controls strengthen repeatability
- Use of lime juice introduces confounding organic acids
- Sample size choice and randomization are described but not fully justified
- Risk assessment omits a probability/severity analysis and neutralization steps
