For your display you will need a tri-fold cardboard presentation board. You can purchase these at store like Michael’s, Joann’s , Staples or Walmart, or make your own out of old boxes. Your display should include the following elements:
Title- Your title should appear in neat lettering at the top of the board. If you have trouble writing neatly, you can purchase stencils or die-cut letters or print out lettering from a computer.- Abstract – type up a copy of your abstract and mount it on your display.
- Hypothesis – Include your hypothesis, your prediction of how your experiment would turn out.
- Materials- a list of materials used in your experiment.
- Procedure – a list of steps you followed to carry out your experiment.
- Data – The results of your experiment. It would be best to show this on charts or graphs because they make the information easier to understand. Color helps!
- Pictures – If you took any pictures of your experiment include them in chronological order, including captions to give the viewer a better understanding.
- Conclusions – This is a statement of what you learned from your experiment. It should be based on the data (results) and state whether or not you proved your hypothesis.
- Color – Being colorful is very important. A plain background with coordinating colors used as matting for your data or pictures make a terrific presentation. You can practice your lay-out before you glue it down.
