Science Fair Project Display Board

How can I make a display board for my science project?

Making a display is how you present your science project research and results to viewers or visitors. Although making a display board is the last step of a science project, it is very important for judges and can seriously affect your grade.  This guideline is aimed to be a quick reference for making a display board.

If you are a member of ScienceProject.com, make sure to view more details and get help from your project advisor if any parts are not clear to you. 

In general the parts of a display are the same parts that you have in your report; however a display will contain only an abstract, not all the details.

The above diagram is what ScienceProject.com suggests as the general layout of a display board for experimental (investigatory) projects. The display is generally made from cardboard or foam board. What you include in your display are:

• In the left pane write the abstract and the procedures.
  
• In the center pane write the title, and the results in the form of graph and tables.
  
• In the right pane write the results and conclusion.

You will not have the same requirements for an engineering or a display project. If you are making a display for a display project or engineering project, just select the important parts of your report and include them in your display board. 

Some of the other websites students may use for their science project are:

• ScienceProject.com
  ScienceProject.com is a source of information and support for students who want to take their science project to a higher level and show the applications of science in life, business and different industries. All students can become a member in order to view a project guide and get additional support on their projects.
• MiniScience.com
  Gathering material needed for a science fair project has always been a challenge for students. MiniScience.com is an online store that provides many of the material that students need for their science projects. These material are sold individually or in the form of a science kit. Many of MiniScience.com products make perfect gift for intelligent and curious students.
• KidsLoveKits.com
  KidsLoveKits.com also known as klk.com are alternatives to MiniScience.com focused on Science project kits and educational sets.
• ChemicalStore.com
  Many science experiments require access to substances that are not easily available to most students. ChemicalStore.com is where students can obtain small amounts of chemicals at very low prices.
