A good title might be “Volcanic Explosions” as opposed to just “Volcanoes. ” When you can, use vivid, specific titles like “Bioluminescence in Crystal Jellyfish” in place of generic titles like “Glowing Jellies. ”
Follow the guidelines of the assignment or fair to know if you need an abstract or a hypothesis section. A hypothesis must accurately describe what is to be tested in the experiment, and what the expected outcome is. For example, a statement such as “The baking soda will react with the vinegar in a neutralization reaction, evolving gases and building pressure inside the volcano replica. This pressure will cause fluid to spew from the top of the replica. ”
Cite previous experiments that indicate that there is a reason to expect the results that your hypothesis predicts. For example, you could cite a lab experiment that states that acids and bases give off gas when they neutralize each other to support the hypothesis that baking soda and vinegar will go through such a reaction.
All fonts should be easily readable. If the font is too small or unclear, this will discourage people from reading the information. Use bullet lists, multiple paragraphs, and white space on your board to avoid an overwhelming amount of text.
If you prefer not to use glue, it may sometimes be acceptable to tack items to the board. Double sided tape is a good way to stick on things that do not stick well with glue.
