GPES Display Guidelines

GPES K-4 Science Fair

Making Your Science Fair Display

Here are instructions for displaying your project at the Science Fair. They are just recommendations - no problem if you need to do yours differently (especially if your project is not an experiment).

Description: Write a description of your project and mount it (with tape) on a free-standing display board. Here are the five parts of the description

•  Question: What question does your project try to answer?

•  Hypothesis: What did you think the answer would be before you did your experiment or project?

•  Procedure: What did you do to answer your question? Describe the experiment if you did one - what equipment did you use, and what did you do with the equipment?

•  Results: What did you observe when you did your experiment?

•  Conclusions: Was your hypothesis correct or did you get a surprising result?

Supporting Information: Your display board may also contain other information like graphs or charts to show the data you collected, photographs, drawings, or diagrams of your experiment, etc.

Props: You may bring props to help people understand your project. For example, you can bring the equipment or materials you used in your project. Just remember the rules (no flames, dead or alive animals, dangerous chemicals, electrical outlets, human bodily fluids).
