Purpose Section
The display board should clearly state the purpose of the research.
In the purpose section, tell the audience the following things:
What you tried to accomplish
Why did you do this project
What question(s) was asked? OR What hypothesis was tested
What gap in the knowledge was addressed
Researchers presuppose a target audience, identify the audience.
Examples of target audiences:
• Parents visiting a neonatal clinic
• Consumers of long-term care insurance
• Small business owners purchasing print ads
**Print each page of text in LANDSCAPE to maximize board space**

7. Purpose Example
To analyze the controversy surrounding students’ Fourth Amendment Rights in school by creating a realistic compromise that ensures both school safety and student privacy. This compromise will be presented to and judged by legal scholars.

9. Procedure/Method Section
Social science, fine arts, and mathematical boards:
This section should be organized logically, often chronologically, and clearly describe each aspect of the work completed, such as:
An annotated bibliography based on extensive library and electronic research
Contacting, surveying or interviewing experts
Procedure for examining, designing, or testing models
Designating a target audience and outlining the design and distribution of questionnaires
Method of compiling data
Format for the Procedure/Method Section
Use bullets when possible

10. Procedure/Method Section
Scientific boards:
Include a detailed description of each step in the experiment
Give a complete list of materials
Use active verbs to clearly and concisely state your procedure/method
Placing a lab notebook on the table in front of the board can be used to illustrate how meticulously the experiment was conducted

11. Methods Example (at least 5)
Deconstructed and analyzed the precedent set in new Jersey v. T.L.O to understand its possible realm of positive and negative consequences.
Examined and analyzed previous suggestions that have been made on how to balance school safety with student privacy.

14. Content/Results [Main Panel]
1. This section contains charts, graphs, models, products, and photographs, the proceeds of the investigation. 2. Captions should accompany each of these artifacts. [see chart for font] 3. Use computer-generated graphs and charts whenever possible. If a picture is worth a thousand words; graphs and charts are worth a hundred pictures! 4. When questionnaires are used, place them in a binder on the table in front of the board. 5. Scientific competitions frequently have specific formats to follow for this section, and should be adhered to. 6. Save interpretation and analysis of this data for the summary and conclusion sections. Visuals--Graphics--Instruction What are you going to teach the audience?
