Exhibit Design and Evaluation
The exhibit must not exceed dimensions of 76 cm deep
and 122 cm wide. Build the exhibit no higher than 122 cm. No
overhang is allowed. If the scientific apparatus exceeds the height
limit, use photographs to show what has been done. No part of the
project may be placed on the floor.
• Construct your own exhibit; teachers and parents are to provide only
the necessary guidance, encouragement, and constructive criticism.
• Have a purpose and hypothesis for your project; they must apply to a
definite scientific question. The reason for doing a research project
is to make a significant contribution to the body of scientific
knowledge or to solve a problem.
• Keep the title of your project brief, captivating, and
prominently visible on the exhibit. It may contain no more than 45
characters and spaces. Titles in excess of 45 characters will be
shortened to fit into available space on the entry form.
• Make lettering neat and uncluttered. Make sure all words are spelled
correctly.
• Determine the best way to present the research. The
presentation may include graphs, charts, posters, 35 mm slides,
videotape, transparencies, demonstration of apparatus, and other
components. Attach a copy of your Abstract, Safety Sheet, and
endorsement(s) (if necessary) to the front of your display board.
• Be well versed in as many aspects of the project as possible.
• Be enthusiastic about the project.
• Prepare not only for direct questions pertinent to the research but
also for related questions.
