PROJECT CONSTRUCTION
Please print on the back of your display:

Backboard:
a) Usually, students use a 3-sided display.
b) Any backboard material that your school approves may be used at the United Counties Science Fair.
Display:
All cloth, paper, etc. must be fastened securely to the backboard. Only single sheets may be attached to the backboard. Nothing may hang from the table. No wall may be used to support or display any part of your project.
Size:
Half of a 1.2m (4’) by 2.4m (8’) sheet of material will make a good backboard, such as the one shown on the left, below. If you need more space, the one on the right can be made from a whole sheet of material.
A table about 0.8m from the floor is provided. Your display can stand on this, or on the floor. It must stand firmly by itself, with no danger of falling.
The entire project must fit into a space no larger than 1.2m wide by 0.8m deep by 3.5m from the floor. Oversized projects must be reduced by fair opening time or they will be disqualified.
Marks are given in these areas:
Scientific thought 45% (40% for a study project)
