Check the science fair rules to find out the size of the exhibit and display board.
Create a backboard with three sides out of cardboard or wood. You can also order one from a science supply company. They are usually available in black or white. Cover the backboard with colored cloth or shelving paper if desired.
Sketch out the design of the board before attaching anything. Choose what will go in the focal point, or the center of the board.
Write out titles and headings neatly in letters legible from three feet away. Print your headers on a printer, cut your letters from construction paper, make them with stencils or use self-stick letters. Choose colors for attached items that stand out from the background. The title should go in the middle of the board.
Add illustrations or photographs. Place a model or any three-dimensional material in the front of the board.
Attach the following information on the board: the problem, hypothesis, details of the experiment, results and conclusion. Write neatly or print on a printer. Proofread carefully. Erase any pencil guidelines.
Display data in a graph or table created by hand or computer. Put the information in order from the left side.
