Tips for elementary science fair projects displays and presentation
How you display your elementary science fair projects is very important as it shows just how much work you've put into the project. For the display, you will need anything that you have that represents your elementary science fair projects, including the backboard, the project report, models that you may have constructed, items studied, reports, pictures, surveys etc.
You must make sure that the display is attractive and interesting. There should be enough details for the judges but not overload then with too much information. A poor display could ruin all the hard work that you've done.
The Title
Select the title of your elementary science fair projects carefully. Keep it short and simple. This will enable the title to catch the attention of the viewer. The title should be displayed in a font that is large enough to be read at a distance of about 3 feet. Be creative!
The Display Board
Use standard pre-made cardboard displays from Wal-mart or Office Depot. You can change the colors by using paper or cloth to cover the board. When putting up items on the board, choose you colors carefully to make sure that what stands out are the materials rather than the background colors itself. If you are unsure as to what colors to use, stick to neutral pastel colors.
The Content
Your display should include the following information and format:
| TITLE | ||
|---|---|---|
| Question (Hypotesis) |
Procedure and Observations | Results and Findings |
| Materials used | Pictures | Conclusion |
Other General Display Tips
- Make sure that all lines and edges are straight. Crooked displays tell the judges that you are a sloppy person. And a good scientist is never sloppy!
- Use large fonts for the project title and smaller fonts for each of the headings. For the headings, you can also use a different color from the rest of your text. However, you should not use too many colors otherwise the judges will be distracted. Most of the ordinary text should be black in color.
- Make sure that your wiring and electrical plugs comply with all safety standards. Get help from an adult for this.
