The board should be aesthetically pleasing to viewers (neat, correct spelling, artistically arranged).
The display tells the story of the project accurately, and all results (tables and graphs) are displayed.
The font should be large enough to be read easily (greater than 14 pt), but small enough to fit all necessary information on the board.
Size of the display board must be no larger than 120 cm wide and 75 cm deep. It should be a three section board with the title in the center. It is suggested that the story of the project proceed from left to right.
Equipment, props, samples, etc are NOT usually permitted at the science fair, so be sure to include them in the pictures on your board.
A new, corrected copy of your science fair paper should be left for the judges to peruse if any questions arise after your presentation. The science fair paper must have at least five references of which no more than two may be websites.
The science fair will be in the senior building after school on Friday, January 11th.
