The layout for a science fair project is an important document that will illustrate that you have researched the subject correctly and thoroughly. This layout should present the ideas of the project and should be clear and easy for others to understand. The written report will differ and contain far more detail than the poster. People tend to read from left to right, and from top to bottom so it is important to structure the content correctly so that people are not confused.
The title of the project should appear at the top-centre of the poster. Your name should appear alongside the title. Data and graphics and any pictures should appear directly below the title and name and should also be central, leaving enough room on either side for four other topic boxes. Try to make your illustrations visually striking for the viewer.
At the top left of the page you should explain the purpose and the background of your research and why the subject is important. Your findings will take up two more of the three remaining boxes and should be clear and concise. They can be presented in paragraph form, as long as the facts are easy to grasp. They can also be presented in bullet point form, but make sure that enough information is present so that people can understand the findings. These two boxes should be either side of the central illustrations and pictures in the lower half of the page.
The final box, at the top right hand side of the page, should show what would occur next, your recommendations for people who would like to research the subject matter you are presenting further. Other useful materials to use for display are an abstract of your work, a single page that is a brief overview.
