How to Set Up a Science Project in PowerPoint
Through the completion of a science project, young science students have the opportunity to try their hands at scientific exploration. Upon completing their exploration, science students report their findings to their class, in much the same way that scientists conducting groundbreaking research may report the results of their work. One effective way to report this information is through the completion of a science project PowerPoint. This technologically enhanced presentation is easy to create, and allows you to share your findings in a professional and clear manner.

1
Create a title slide. Feature the title for your science project, and your name as the experiment conductor on this slide. You can also include the date, as well as a relevant picture to add aesthetic value to your presentation.
-
2
Place the purpose of your project on the second slide. Explain why you're conducting your experiment. This explanation should be short and to the point. To make it easier for viewers to understand, you can create a bulleted list instead of a formal sentence statement of purpose.
-
-
3
Lay out your hypothesis on the third slide. The hypothesis is the educated guess that you make about the experiment results prior to conducting the experiment. Include this hypothesis regardless of whether or not it was proven, or disproven, by your experiment.
-
4
List the supplies necessary on the fourth slide. Use a bulleted list for this slide. Include detailed descriptions of how much of each supply is needed so that others can replicate your experiment with a goal of testing your findings.
-
5
Explain your process in three to four slides, providing pictures if possible. On each slide, explain one step of your process. By breaking this process section into multiple slides, you make it easier for the audience to understand your, possibly complex, procedure. Do not be overly verbose, but instead remain concise and avoid littering your slides with extra verbiage.
-
6
List your data on the slide following the process slides. Include your data in a chart or graph form so that it is easier for viewers to comprehend.
-
7
State your findings on the next slide. This finding should be an interpretation of the data. As a result of looking at the data, you will either find that your initial hypothesis was correct, or incorrect. Clearly state which way the findings fell and what scientific principle they revealed or confirmed.
-
8
Place a conclusion on your final slide. Your final slide should sum up the whole experiment. In this slide, you need to explain what your findings show, and indicate how you may extend your experiment in the future to continue your scientific study.
