Winning Science Fair Projects

Lesson 3 - Science Project Reports & Presentations From Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D., your Guide to Chemistry Welcome to the Winning Science Fair Projects newsletter. You have an idea, you've done a project... now you need to tell the world about your scientific discovery. Let's take a look at how to prepare a report and display and give a great presentation. Sharing Your Science Fair Project Writing a Science Project Report  Some science fairs have strict format guidelines. If yours does, be sure to adhere to the rules. Otherwise, here's an example of a typical science fair report format that you can use to structure your writing. Make a Display You may get to present your project with a display. Sometimes the display is all you have to convey your project to judges. Here are some tips for making the display eye-catching as well as professional. How to Write a Bibliography You may have used books or other references in order to do your science fair project. If so, it's important to credit your sources. Some science fairs want participants to follow specific guidelines. Otherwise, here are some examples of ways to cite references. Need More Help? Congratulations on a great science fair project!
