How to Put a Science Board on Display
You can design and set up a science display board any way you want, but that doesn't mean it will be effective. Your board should categorize information about your science project or experiment in a way that guides the reader through the information logically. Follow just a few steps can help you do this while ensuring the display is still unique to your experiment or project.

1
Decide what the most important information is that you will put on the science board. This information should be included in the center of three panels, positioned under the title of the project and your name.
-
2
Organize the most important information by topic. If you build an egg cage for your experiment and then dropped it off of a 20-foot high roof, one topic might be how you constructed the egg cage while another tells about how you ran the experiment.

3
Include the topics on individual pieces of paper. Glue the paper onto the center panel of the display board. You can glue them creatively by positioning them at angles or at different points along the board, instead of simply left-aligning each piece of paper.
-
4
Decide what kind of information you can use to support the center panel. This information will appear on the left and right panels. If you performed the egg experiment, you might write about the problem of how to protect eggs from breaking when dropped. You might also discuss the hypothesis you had developed about how to fix this problem before you conducted the experiment.
-
5
Glue the supporting information onto the left and right panels. You can also position these creatively. One idea is to position the information in line horizontally with the information it supports. You might post information on the right panel about alternative egg cage constructions in such a way that information about your egg construction is directly to the left, but in the middle panel.

6
Decorate for better readability. You could add arrows that guide the reader through the information logical, or pictures and graphs that better explain the information.
