Project Display Hints Project Display Hints
Display formats may vary. Check with your teacher for specific requirements.

The Science Fair display must be free-standing. Make it tell a storyexplain itself clearly.

The most popular format for display is a 3-part sectional board. Any of a variety of materials
can be used: plywood, masonite, posterboard or cardboard with tape hinges, or a ready-made
display board.

The display should be eye-catching, organized, and neat. Lay out the entire project on the
board before attaching any section or lettering to be certain of a final neat appearance.

General layout suggestion:








Add items of interestpictures, diagrams, charts, report pocket, etc.

There may be some variations in placement of major sections. Check with the teacher for
his or her preference. The students name, grade, teacher, and school are often written on the
back of the display.

Models, equipment used in the project, or parts or samples of the experiment may have to be
documented with photographs. Some local Science Fair rules require that all items be
attached to display boards, including notebooks.


Use rubber cement or glue sticks for best results when attaching most materials
(lettering, diagrams, etc.) to the display board. This avoids the crinkle effect resulting
with some glues.

Use large lettering for titleshandwritten, stenciled on the board, cut from construction
paper, or computer-generated. Ready-made and self-adhesive lettering is available.

The title should be brief and displayed in large, bold letters. A header may be attached
to the display board for highlighting the title.

A background color may be used on the project board itself. Either cover it with colored
paper, fabric, or paintor use a colored display board.

When selecting colors for lettering, backgrounds, or accents, yellows and greens are
popular for nature themes; blue, red, and black are most often used for others.

Attach all movable parts firmly to the display board.
