Science Fair Shopping List |
Students should start a shopping list as soon as they have chosen a topic. The same stores may stock items they'll need for their investigation/invention as well as for their final display, so they should consolidate lists and trips to save time and gas. (This will also make their parents happy, which is important.)
Display boards should be purchased early. That way, students will be able to easily visualize the amount of room they'll have for text, photos, charts, graphs, etc. While they're at it, they should shop for other items they'll need come production time: colored construction paper and heavyweight computer printer paper; various tape, glue stick, and mounting products for various stages of layout and model building (one size does not fit all!); and all the tools they'll need to measure, cut, paste, and create a professional-looking display.
- Tri-fold display board
- Display board header (optional accessory)
- Permanant Markers with bold and medium tips
- Colored construction paper
- White computer printer paper (heavier cover stock is best)
- Notebook
- White correction fluid
