How to Set up Display Board

How to Layout Your Science Fair Display Board Project Title Data Results (Write a short statement about what your data tells us) Problem - stated in question form. Hypothesis Must be in the if…then…because… format. Graphs - show your data that was collected and display the results in the appropriate graph. Procedure - (or here) how you conduct your test. Conclusion - Most important Pictures– pictures are not required but part of your experiment! add to the quality. Procedure– (or here) how you conduct your test. *Your data notebook (if done) should sit in front of your board on the table ***You can make changes as long as everything above is on your board.*** How to Layout Your Science Fair Display Board Helpful Hints: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Use a font large enough to read from a distance (minimum 16pt) Only readable fonts are to be used. Arrange everything BEFORE you glue. Use rubber cement, not Elmer’s! Check and double check for spelling errors-have an adult proofread your work. Do not write directly on the board. Do not use glitter glue or other distracting items. Be precise-cut straight (use a paper cutter) and glue straight. Data notebook should sit in front of your board on the table-it is not glued onto your board. Be creative and have fun. Show your audience what you did and that you are proud of your work. Pictures of your experiment really improve the quality of the display board. Be sure to write captions under the pictures to explain what they are. If you take an image and use it on your board you must give that image credit by listing where you got it, as a caption, under the picture. You may not put pictures of people’s faces on the board. Data needs to be anonymous. You only need one board per project. Be sure BOTH your names are written clearly on the back of the board if you have a partner. When you get to the science fair you will place the project number on the top right hand corner of the board so judges can find you.
