How to Set Up a Science Presentation Board

Your science presentation board gives the first impression of your science fair project.

During a science fair, your display board is the prime tool that shows off your science project, so it needs to stand out among the other displays at the fair. Unlike a paper, your display board shows what you have accomplished and the scientific results of your project visually. It's a way for others to understand what you have established in a more organized way. To do this, your science presentation board items needs to be neatly done.

Things You'll Need

• Glue stick
• Tape
• Photos

Instructions

1. Buy a three-sided display board to show your work for your science project. The board needs to be 48 inches wide and 36 inches tall.

2. Write or type the information about your project on a white piece of paper. Print out the information and any pictures that you have taken for your project.

3. Organize your science display board. From the viewer's view, on the left side of the board, you want to line up the "Purpose," "Hypothesis" and the "Background/Research" underneath each other. In the middle of the board, display the "Protect Title" at the top followed by "Materials and Procedures" and "Data Charts and Photos." On the right side of the board, display the "Results" of your experiment and the "Conclusion" (see Resources).

4. Apply glue to your printed items with a glue stick to the back of your display papers and photos and then stick them to the board according to step 3. If the glue is not working, apply tape on the sides of the items neatly.
