Whether the project is on zoology, electricity, or genetics, just about every entry in a science fair is presented visually, on a three-panel display board or a digital slide show like PowerPoint. A well-organized presentation is essential because it helps students communicate their findings to other students, teachers, people attending the fair, and --- most importantly --- the judges. Scientists not only conduct experiments and do research, but in order to get their work out into the world, they also must be able to communicate their results. A great way for aspiring young scientists to practice explaining their research is to participate in science fairs and perfect the art of creating an organized presentation. READ MORE
When preparing for a physical science fair, the best thing to do first is make a list of things you need. To create a winning display board, you will typically need a three-panel board, perforated or adhesive-backed titles, a header board, double-sided tape or a glue stick, materials you want to use to decorate the board, and a project folder.
Students can participate individually or as part of a two- to three-person team. Online registration for the Junior Division (grades 5-8) closes Feb. 24.
