Here's some food for thought as you start thinking about the display component of your science fair project....
- Plan out your layout! Think about how you are going to incorporate all necessary components of your work on your board.  Here is a checklist to consider as you take on this process.
 
- Make a plan and sketch it out!  Draw out your display plan.  Things to consider.
 
- Fonts and size of fonts
 
- Color choices/borders and outlines- does your formatting draw the viewer in?
 
- Are all of your sections clearly labeled?
 
- Is the board easy to read and follow? 
 
- Do your graphics help viewers interpret your results?
 
- Pictures are worth a thousand words....most of the time! Be thoughtful with your visuals- and take advantage of your resources.  Is a simple picture going to get the point across or would an image enhanced and elaborated on using "Skitch" or another app be more effective?
 
- Need some help?  Here is a resource with some great advice and a few examples of "dos" and "do nots" when it comes to science boards
 
- Need even more inspiration?  Here are even more examples.  Which ones seem successful to you? Why??
 
Good luck!!
