A.1Research question and inquiry
Good
Criteria Feedback
- You chose a focused, school-based environmental issue that is clearly connected to a real mitigation strategy.
- Your background research gives the investigation relevant local and global context, which helps frame why the question matters.
- You connect the inquiry to measurable outcomes, which makes the topic workable as a case study.
- Some background statements are scientifically imprecise, which weakens the foundation for the inquiry.
- The wording of the question is broader than the evidence actually used, especially around energy consumption versus electricity bills.
- The operational meaning of phrases like “to what extent” could be defined more precisely so the question is easier to answer directly.

B.1Strategy
Excellent
Criteria Feedback
- You clearly identify the mitigation strategy and connect it directly to the environmental problem being investigated.
- You explain how the solar installation reduces dependence on grid electricity, showing understanding of the strategy’s mechanism.
- You develop a meaningful tension between environmental benefit and institutional budgeting priorities.
- The solar installation and the energy-saving notices could be separated more clearly so the reader can see how each contributes.
- The discussion could be tied even more tightly to the specific school case rather than leaning on broader examples.
- The trade-off could be explored further by considering how changing costs or maintenance needs might affect the strategy over time.
