Display Tips
More Surviving Science Fair
The display should be eye-catching and creative; yet straightforward and well organized. Remember these tips:
  • The real purpose of the display is to summarize the project. It should not contain any extra data or unnecessary graphics.
  • The audience is seeing the project for the first time. Make sure everything is explained clearly.
  • Required categories, such as question, hypothesis, procedure, materials, results, and conclusions, should be arranged in a logical sequence on the display board.
  • Charts, graphs and tables should be clearly labeled, with units of measurement clearly indicated; all photos and illustrations should have captions.
  • The table top is the perfect place to display some of the materials and critical parts of your procedure. Make sure students plan ahead.
