Lesson 5 Displaying Your Project

 

How you display your project is very important. It shows just how much work you've put into the project. You want to make sure that the display shows the judges all that they need to know. A poor display could ruin all the hard work that you've done.

For the display, you will need a backboard, the project report and anything else that you have that represents your project - such as 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, but you should also make sure the judges are not overloaded with or distracted by too much information.

 

The display board

 

Check that you comply with the stipulated size and shape of the display board. Check what the maximum measurements are - your display can be smaller than this. A three-sided board is usually the best way to put up your display. There are many different materials that you can use to construct your display board such as sturdy cardboard or wooden panels. Some do-it-yourself or office supplies stores may also sell pre-made display boards. Alternatively, you can also check out science supply companies. Pre-made display boards will usually come only in white and black. 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 your experiment stands out above the background colors. If you are unsure about what colors to use, stick to neutral pastel colors.
