We reviewed the tests today. Many students did very well on this one.
We also made a mockup of the science fair board using just a piece of notebook paper. Please check with your student so they can show you what it is to look like. Be sure to buy a three-fold display board and some rubber cement. Over the many years and many projects I have been involved in, I have found that rubber cement is the best pasting product to use as it is easy to clean, does not leave wavy paper like water-based glues, and the paper is easily removable in case something needs to be repositioned or removed and replaced.
I told the students they should make a new folder in the folder for their science fair project sections. The new folder could be labeled "sections for the board." They should pull these sections into this new folder: Purpose, Hypothesis, Materials, Methods of Procedure, Tables and Graphs, Conclusion, and abstract and Safety Sheet. These are the only sections that have to go on the board. Once they have been copied into this new folder, they can be modified for the science fair board. For instance, take the title off the page entitled Purpose and take out the double-spacing. You will use the labels that come with the display board or make your own to put on the board. You will make the font larger to fill up two to three lines so it will be easier to see on the board. Here is an example:
The purpose of this science fair experiment is to discover which brand of fertilizer will help plants grow best.
I could not choose the exact size I wanted here in this blog but I would have tried to make it take up only two lines or all of three lines. Do the same for the other sections. If you have questions, please email me.
I hope this has been helpful.
