Lamination is recommended. Posters must be the original design and creation of the entrants themselves. Representing more than one aspect of the the data in one graph or by using more than one graph is strongly encouraged. The poster's subject matter is the choice of the participants. A listing of the original data, a description of the method of collection, and the purpose of the experiment should be taped to the back of the poster.
Paper clip the entry form to the front of the poster.
Be sure the poster itself gives no information that identifies the students, teacher, school, or district. Students may work individually or in teams. For the grades K-3 category, a team may consist of up to an entire class. For the other categories, the team may have up to four students. The highest grade represented by any team member will determine the entry category.
