Make Your Display Board

You will use a display board to share your work

Your display board will tell the story of your project! You can pick up your display board materials from the Oak Knoll main office from February 12th - February 16th. This will include the large cardboard pieces and section headings.

You should have the following sections clearly displayed on your board:

1. Project Title and Question

2. Your Name, Grade, and Teacher's Name

3. Hypothesis

4. Procedure

5. Materials

6. Data

7. Results 

8. Conclusions

You can organize your display in whatever way you think will make the most sense. You can see one example you can follow below. Depending on your experiment, your results, and the pictures, tables, and graphs you want to include, you may find that a different layout is better.

Your display board should be eye-catching and attractive. 

Try to make your display board neat and attractive. If possible, please type the information you put on your display board. You can use apps like Google Slides or Microsoft Powerpoint for each of your sections. And Google Sheets is great for making tables and graphs.

You want it to quickly capture the attention of the audience, but try not to let the decorations detract from the story you are trying to tell.

Please ONLY bring your display board to the Science Fair, and leave any other materials you used at home.

You will have a chance to present your project to other students, teachers and family members on Family Night, Thursday, March 14th. You may want to practice giving a brief (about 2-3 minutes) presentation about your project before you present! But if you don't get a chance to practice, don't worry. Just be ready to explain what you did and what you learned.
