Science Fair Presentation Board
Your presentation board is what everyone will see at the fair and what you will use to make your class presentation.
The most important thing about your board is the information you put on it about your project. You do not have to buy an expensive board. You do not need to buy a fancy board or a colored board. You need to include the following information: Title, Problem. Hypothesis, Materials, Procedure, Variables, Observations, Results, Conclusion. You should arrange the information in logical order so people looking at your board can follow step by step how you completed your experiment.
Once this information is on the board you can put your Background Research, but it is not required. Do not put your bibliography, title page or Table of Contents on the board! DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE BOARD! IT GOES ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BOARD!
You may be able to print an extra copy of your report in size 16 font to put on your board. The Ttile Page, Contents, and Bibliography do not go on the board.
After all the information is on the board you should add photos, graphs, charts, diagrams that you have made. You should not use graphs, tables, maps, pictures from the Internet, books or magazines. You can make these on your own.
If you add decoration it should be relevant to your topic and not just added to over decorate the board. The board is not an arts and craft project. You want a balance of white space and information/ decoration. You don’t want too much or too little information either.
When adding labels, pictures, graphs etc. you may wish to put these on white paper and then put it on the board to prevent damage to the board if you should make an error. You could mount them on construction paper to make a colorful contrast between the board and the work.
