11Confidential Methods and Materials Outline the steps you used and the materials you needed to collect your data Use pictures to describe your procedure when possible and then describe the pictures to your audience Include the safety guidelines you followed

12Confidential Results Summary Data (do not show raw data) that you present should include: –Numerical Data (see next slide for tips on graphs) Tables, Charts, Graphs, or Pictures and Photographs –Verbal Summary A summary of your findings with reference to the applicable tables, graphs, or pictures

13Confidential Bar charts are for comparing countable data between categories or over time Group 1 Group 2 Results of Analysis Footnote: [Any footnote you feel is necessary] Note that all values are to the same decimal place, even if the decimal place is zero Keep this slide simple without additional text to avoid confusing your message

15Confidential Discussion This is where you interpret your results –State major findings –Compare your findings to other research Your statistical analysis should support the conclusions that you are able to draw from your data and the explanations that you propose Be sure to include the major reasons (including any necessary citations) that explain the major trends found in your data

20Confidential PowerPoint Advice Do use color but be careful that the text is legible once projected (avoid fluorescent colors and red) Do use a font that is easily legible Avoid animation; yes, it is a neat tool and demonstrates your familiarity with PowerPoint but it is not professional Do use pictures and other visuals; feel free to show a picture of you completing your research Do not read your slides; Eye contact is much more powerful Do keep your slides simple with 4-5 key points Practice your presentation ahead of time in front of family members, classmates, or friends Remember that you need to tell your audience what you’re going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them

21Confidential Colors that work in PowerPoint Black/White Navy Forest Green Bright Yellow Bright Red Orange Light Pink Lilac Highlighter Green Colors that WorkColors that do not Work These colors are difficult to read from a distance

22Confidential Fonts that work in PowerPoint Arial Times New Roman Bookman Helvetica Bradley Hand ITC Script MT Bold Forte Gill Sans MT Papyrus Felix titling Fonts that WorkFonts that do not Work These fonts are difficult to read from a distance Once you select a font, be sure that you use it throughout your presentation

23Confidential Animation is really left best to cartoons Animation is very distracting to your audience –They will be watching the effects and often stop listening
