Criteria Feedback
- You state a focused, relevant, and testable research question with clear variables and a specific location.
- You explain the environmental issue clearly and connect acid deposition to soil chemistry and ecosystem effects.
- You link the issue to the investigation in a coherent way, showing why the question matters scientifically and environmentally.
- You use strong contextual support such as local Bangkok evidence and clear scientific explanation.
- Your background could be slightly more precise about how multiple factors besides acid rain can also affect soil acidity.
- The research question could be sharpened further by defining the exact invertebrate group more narrowly.
- A clearer statement of what pattern would count as meaningful support would make the investigation even easier to evaluate.

Good
Criteria Feedback
- You design a repeatable field method that is clearly aligned with the research question.
- You justify the sampling approach well by using random coordinates and a standardized grid to reduce bias.
- You include replication across multiple sites, which improves the reliability of the data collection.
- You show awareness of safety and ethical issues and include practical mitigation measures.
- Your method would be stronger with more detail on calibration, precision, and how the pH readings were standardized.
- The invertebrate counting procedure needs more consistency so another investigator could repeat it exactly.
- Your risk and ethics discussion misses several common fieldwork hazards such as terrain, heat, and nearby road exposure.
